...In his autobiography, he wrote, "I had this idea in 1896, and as the Universal Exposition approached, I began to think about concretely working to realize this ambitious project." This shows how inventors pinned their technological dreams on the Universal Exposition. At the 1967 Montreal Universal Exposition, a panoramic cylindrical screen that completely surrounded the audience was a highlight, along with a multi-screen and the Laterna Magica, which freely alternated and combined a movie screen with the performance of live actors on stage. This device, which represents the pinnacle of modern science, and the Omni-Max, a panoramic movie that became a hot topic at subsequent Universal Expositions, essentially revolve around the same dream as Grimoine Sanson's Cineorama. However, the reality is that Cineorama, Omni-Max, and Laterna Magica all ended up being one-off events that did not directly contribute to the progress of film. ... *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Omni-Max" are listed below.
