The genesis of this week's innovation came out of work that was undertaken for the production of two movies shown at Montreal's Expo 67.

The IMAX Corporation and it's associated cinema projection standards were the result of work done by Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor, William Shaw and Robert Kerr in the late 1960's and early 1970's. While most movie viewing is done on small screens these days, a good chunk of the Canadian population can likely still remember their first IMAX large screen viewing experience.
