Panoramic Cinema 

In the Ben-Gurion experience at Sde Boker College in 1986, I sought to create an immersive journey through history, far ahead of its time. Using 9 adjacent screens to form a 180-degree panoramic view, this innovation was groundbreaking.

At a time when the idea of a single projector handling such a task was unimaginable, we utilized nine slide projectors to craft a continuous, panoramic background.

The narrative was brought to life by a presenter moving across the screens, powered by a 16mm film projected from a specially mounted electric motor projector.

To enhance this pioneering experience, viewers were seated on swivel bar stools, allowing them to rotate and follow the unfolding story with just the movement of their feet.

This level of interaction and immersion was revolutionary, predating the digital conveniences of today.

It wasn't just about watching a story; it was about stepping into it, turning spectators into active participants in a historical journey. This inventive approach to storytelling and technology set a new standard for immersive experiences, reminding us of the leaps we've made from those innovative days to the digital ease of today.
