People watching a program in the "Agrisphere," an 80-capacity theater in a 40-foot-high geodesic dome in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry paid for by International Harvester. In the theater there is an 18-foot screen, and above that is an "Earthscape", which depicts the U.S. landscape as it changes from early time to modern day, using a three-dimensional effect.
