Circle-Vision 360Β° is a film technique, refined by The Walt Disney Company, that uses nine cameras for nine big screens arranged in a circle. The cameras are usually mounted on top of an automobile for scenes through cities and highways, while films such as The Timekeeper use a static camera and many CGI effects. The first film was America the Beautiful (1955 version) in the Circarama theater, which would eventually become Circle-Vision theater in 1967.
Oh
yes! Check out the Clam (brand) screen tent. I got the circular one
that is 11 ft. in dia. Put the hub on the ground - let it it fall
outward and begin to pull the sides out as you walk around. It has
pre-installed spring rods that you pull outward as you walk around it
and then go inside and push up the top. Less than 5 min.

It is used for a few attractions at Disney theme parks, such as Epcot’s O Canada!, Reflections of China, and Disneyland’s defunct America the Beautiful (1967 version), Wonders of China, and American Journeys, which were housed in the Circle-Vision theater in Tomorrowland.
At the 2011 D23 Expo, Disneyland Resort President George Kalogridis
announced that CircleVision would be making a return to Disneyland Park
with a new presentation of America the Beautiful in CircleVision 360,
though it is not currently known where the film will be presented (as
the original theater was replaced with another attraction), and whether
this will be a version of the original film or a new film with the same
name and concept.
By using an odd number
of screens, and a small space between them, a projector may be placed
in each gap, projecting across the space to a screen. The screens and
projectors are arranged above head level, and lean rails may be provided
for viewers to hold or to lean against while standing and viewing the
film.

This
is one of the rarest Circle-Vision movies, for except for a brief
appearance in January 1974 at Magic Kingdom during their “Salute to
Canada”, it has been unseen since 1967. The film was the inspiration for
the original “O Canada!” film that played at Epcot from 1982-2007.

Other
French cinematic pioneers toyed with the technology from 1884, leading to CinΓ©orama. Another system (developed in the 21st century) substantially similar is in use at the site of the Terracotta Army exhibit at Xian, China. The Badaling Great Wall near Beijing, China has a Circle-Vision theater featuring scenes from the Great Wall of China.

Oh

pre-installed spring rods that you pull outward as you walk around it
and then go inside and push up the top. Less than 5 min. You buy the
side panels separately. I got 3- for low sun, wind or privacy. They
attach with velcro. There is one that is just 6 ft across. I think itβs
square. I use 1 ft. spikes for stakes with a big washer welded to the
top as the tent grommets are big and the ground in Utah is hard. The
supplied stakes are a little weak. See on youtube and website.
I
got the green one. I thought the brown with white top would be too
bright inside. The only neg. thing about it is that even though it is a
screen tent it gets hot inside midday if itβs 100*. But you are likely
not in it then anyway. Donβt let that deter you from this great tent. I
think itβs also the best overall camping tent with the available sides.
Check out what I have inside- the Corona Swing Hammock. The worlds best zero gravity lounger. At wayfair.com. (without canopy)
