Author Topic: Rear projecting 3D Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-01-2001 05:40 PM                     Harkness Hall has listed a polarized rear screen material in there latest flyer  |  IP: Logged Tom Sauter Expert Film Handler Posts: 163 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-28-2001 01:51 PM                        Our interactive rear-projection 3D system is now up and running. The system is utilizing a stewart polarized rear projection screen, two 3000 lumen lcd video projectors (stacked), and circular polarized lens filters and glasses (passive 3D). Aside from a bit of tweaking that needs to be done on the projector alignment, I almost walked right into the screen while checking it out toady! Anyone who is in the Western New York (Buffalo) region can contact me and we'll set up a test drive.  |  IP: Logged Jerry Chase Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1068 From: Margate, FL, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-28-2001 03:06 PM                       Tom, how about posting a couple of pictures of the setup and giving a description? Some comments from people that have seen it might be fun too. I'm particularly interested in how the screen material worked. Are there any hot spots, ghost images, etc.?  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-28-2001 03:16 PM                        Tom your post reminds me of the time I first saw Doug Trumbull's Showscan. The film took place in a theatre and the projectionist went behind the screen and turned the light on. I went crazy trying to figure this out, I would have bet all my money that he was really on stage.  |  IP: Logged Tom Sauter Expert Film Handler Posts: 163 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 01-29-2002 09:19 AM                        There are now some pictures and technical details of our rear projection 3D system: http://www.ccr.buffalo.edu/anstey/VR/LOW_COST_VR/index.html  |  IP: Logged
