    Polyvision was an innovative technique developed by Abel Gance for his film 'Napoleon' (1927), which used three synchronized projectors to display three adjacent images on a wide screen. This made it possible to create a panoramic effect or divide the screen into panels to show different perspectives or actions simultaneously, expanding the narrative possibilities of silent cinema.
