In the Sixties emerged the grouping SCARS (Science Art Sense), which specialized in building multimedia presentations for various international occasions.
Their clients came from all over the globe, since the word was out that the former Czechoslovakia possessed an enormous amount of competence regarding innovative and often complex multi-medial presentation procedures. The technical brains behind the grouping was Jaroslav Frič. For the pavilion of British Columbia, at the Expo in Osaka of 1970, Fric developed the so-called Spherorama and Vertical Cinemascope, and many other systems. In the case of Spherorama a slide projector with only a single lens was able to create a 360-degree dome projection. Despite the long list of developments attributed to Jaroslav Frič, amazingly few documents on his projects actually exist.
