Brilliant But Doomed: Technology’s Most Magnificent Failures
2. Polaroid Polavision (1977)
What it was: Polaroid’s instant-photography movie system, the result of three decades of experimentation and research.

Why it was brilliant: Even Polaroid’s still-image instant cameras, such as the amazing SX-70, remain among the most impressive feats of consumer-electronics wizardry ever. Polavision made instant movies by capturing an amazing eighteen instant photos a second, courtesy of a handheld camera that used handy film cartridges.

Why it was doomed: Many brilliant tech products have failed because they were ahead of their time; Polavision flopped big-time because it was simply too late. It was pricey ($675) and the movies it created were short (two minutes and forty seconds) and silent, and could only be watched on the bundled tabletop screen (they were too dim to be projected). None of this might have mattered if the system had been released in 1967–but in 1977, it was up against early consumer video cameras and VCRs. From the day it launched, Polavision looked shockingly retro, and its catostrophic failure eventually contributed to the sad exodus of legendary Polaroid founder Edwin Land.

Its legacy: Polavision may have been a disaster, and today’s Polaroid itself may be nothing more than a shell company that slaps its logo on other companies’ products. But the basic idea–instant movies–is as appealing today as it was in 1977. What’s a Flip camcorder other than what Polavision wanted to be but couldn’t?

Werkte als ik het me goed herinner met smallfilm (pellicule 8mm normaal) formaat met direct "out of de box ontwikkeling" van deze film. Polaroid film is allang dood en begraven. Iets voor verzamelaars.
