History of Rotoscope: 180 Degree View

Kathleen Seale, coordinator of SHSMO’s Rolla and Springfield Research Centers, digs into a unique SHSMO collection that details a 1950s film technology developed by two Rolla theatre owners: Rowe Carney and Tom Smith. Their invention of the Rotoscope used a special single camera for filming and a cinema system to project movies in a 180-degree spectrum on a curved screen. The Rotoscope was ahead of its time and well before the IMAX motion picture technology emerged.
