Techniques of Extreme Wide-Angle Motion-Picture Photography and Projection
Experiments in 180° motion-picture photography and projection have been conducted at the Fleischmann Atmospherium-Planetarium, University of Nevada, Reno. Using modified 35mm Mitchell cameras and a Strong carbon-arc projector, several scientific films have been produced illustrating full sky weather, astronomical and space sciences, and oceanographic phenomena. The films are projected onto a 30-ft dome, the scene completely surrounding the observer. Because the screen is frameless, great realism is produced. These techniques have substantially increased the effectiveness of the presentation of the sciences to both the student and general public.
