[lbo-talk] Communist-era "interactive cinema" resuscitated in Czech Republic

A system launched by the Czechs at the Montreal Expo
1967, touted as the world's first attempt at

Prague theatre where it was first tested.
Intriguingly, the Hollywood studios came close to
licensing the "Kinoautomat" technology.
