1 hr confidence: 
sweeping surfaces Explanation: Is the subject "engineering" or "filmmaking"? It sounds to me like "Cinemascope" or rather "Cinerama", i.e., "envolvente" as a surface is one that "surrounds" you, somewhat... encircles you... Any additional contextual information could help to determine what would this be? |
