This is a short video showing the operation and inside of inventor and filmmaker Morton Heilig's 3-D widescreen, stereo Sensorama machine. The machine was first exhibited in the early 1960's and this video from the late 1980's or early 1990's shows the machine in use and Heilig himself showing off his custom 3-D motion picture camera (fashioned from 2x Eyemo cameras) which was used to create the films used inside the machine.
