Circle-Vision 360°

Circle-Vision 360° is a unique film technique that was refined by The Walt Disney Company. It uses nine cameras for nine big screens arranged in a circle. The viewing image is thus on all sides, creating a unique 360-degree viewing experience.

History

The Circle-Vision 360° technology was first introduced in the 1955 Disneyland theme park. The first film to use this technology was "A Tour of the West". The technology was later used in various other Disney theme parks around the world.

Technology

The Circle-Vision 360° uses nine cameras that are arranged in a circle. Each camera captures one section of the scene and the nine sections are then combined to create a full 360-degree view. The cameras are synchronized to ensure that the transition between the sections is seamless. The resulting film is then projected onto nine screens that are arranged in a circle in the viewing room.

Viewing Experience

The viewing experience in Circle-Vision 360° is unique as it allows the viewers to be in the center of the action. The viewers can look in any direction and still be part of the scene. This is different from traditional films where the viewers are passive observers. In Circle-Vision 360°, the viewers are active participants in the film.

Use in Theme Parks

The Circle-Vision 360° technology is used in various Disney theme parks around the world. It is used in attractions such as "O Canada!" in Epcot and "Wonders of China" in Disneyland. The technology allows the viewers to experience the attractions in a unique and immersive way.
