The professor and his trusty robot Max are caught in an unknown zone between the 2nd and 3rd dimensions! To make matters worse, they soon learn that the Institute, which has the only equipment that can get them home, is preparing to close its doors forever! As the Professor and Max scramble to get a message to the Institute's board of directors, their adventures in the wrong dimension help demonstrate how 3D technology works. Amazing visual processes that we take for granted such as perspective, occlusion, and relative motion take on new meaning once experienced in 3D on the giant
