P3D Northern California NSA meeting

["Harold R. Baize" <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just returned from the annual meeting of the Northern California 
division of the National Stereoscopic Association. Once again it 
was great! We meet at the "secret" location of Industrial Light 
and Magic in a beautiful high tech theatre room that included one 
of the original R2D2's. It also contained highly detailed models 
from the movies Jurassic Park and Casper.

Bob Bloomberg's  images were amazing! The show included a preview of 
the next George Coates Performance Works 3-D theatre set. NSA members 
showed their works, including some members of the Oakland Camera Club 
(see http://www.jps.net/baize/occ.htm ).  :-)

One of the more interesting demonstrations was the display of the 
polarizing inks. These images are printed, using a normal ink jet 
type printer. The prints are viewed with standard polarizing 3-D 
glasses. They are beautiful and compare well with traditional 
Vectrographs. The examples we saw were printed on a reflective 
surface, transparencies are also available. Kits that will allow 
you to print your own on an HP or Epson ink jet will be available 
"soon". A graphics service bureau in San Francisco 
(San Francisco Imaging Services, Inc) is offering to make 7x10 
prints for $85 each (ouch).
