History of Circle Vision

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast. We know that by now you’re probably tired of being stuck at home. Some of you may even be jonesing for the comfort of a Disney Park. Don’t worry! The internet’s got you covered! Do like so many people are doing and watch ride videos or even better, make rides at home with your family that replicate the experience of being in the parks. With all of this uncertainty, there’s a lot of speculation about when the parks will reopen, what deadlines will be pushed back, and even changes to the Disney app. This is cray, ya’ll! In Disney News, Onward came out at the wrong time and so it didn’t perform well at the box office. But don’t let that deter you if you didn’t already see it. It’s a fantastic movie that you can now rent digitally! And when you’re done with that, Disney released Frozen 2 and Rise of Skywalker early on Disney+! In other news, the wonderfully talented actor Rosario Dawson signs on to be in the next season of The Mandalorian! 💃🏻 Finally, the new Jungle Cruise trailer dropped a few weeks ago, and we noticed some STRONG similarities to another Disney property. Our main topic this week is all about Circle Vision, the amazingly cool technology utilized in the Canada and China pavilions in EPCOT. Who came up with it? How long has it been used? How did they create a 360 degree view before 360 degree cameras existed? What are some of the unique challenges? Let your inner techie run wild as you listen to this podcast. Thanks for listening. We love you guys and appreciate you. Stay safe and enjoy this time with your family. Check us out on Facebook or submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode or support us on Patreon.
