Introvision was a variation on a front-projection process that allowed film makers to view a finished composite of live action and plate photography through the camera's viewfinder on set and in real time. Beginning with Outland in 1981, the process allowed visual effects to be composited in-camera, eliminating the need to wait for photo-chemical compositing. Introvision could also place actors 'inside' a plate, allowing them to appear behind objects in a two-dimensional background. The technique was used in The Fugitive with a train superimposed behind actor Harrison Ford). The system faded from use around 1994, with the adoption of digital compositing and match moving, which allowed more advanced combinations of live action and computer-generated imagery.
