The later Cinerama films used only one camera and projector, not three.
(Presumably a suitable anamorphic lens was developed).

Yes, Cinerama was not 3-D the same way that the double-image-and-glasses films
are; but the latter, with their effect of flat pieces of cardboard stacked
one behind the other, are not "full 3-D" either.  (If we could just combine
the two processes...)

Doesn't anyone out there remember seeing "2001: A Space Odyssey" in Cinerama?
The effects were absolutely marvelous!  The film was released simultaneously
in Cinerama (in cities that had it) and 70mm elsewhere.  When it is shown these
days, it is invariably a 35mm cinemascope print, and it's just not the same!
