the term "window violation".<

They do, because they contend that because of IMAX's huge viewing area, it
has no window. It was the source of an ongoing debate between David
Starkman and Neil Archebaux (sp?). Neil argued that in IMAX, the screen
represented infinity, while David argued that this placed many images much
too far off the screen plane, making them difficult for some people to
fuse. Obviously making the screen the "window" as is usual for stereo
projection, and placing most of the action "behind" it would be taking it
too far in the other direction, but David thinks (and I agree) that IMAX is
a little too much "in your face."
