But you can hang a slide on the wall and view it. An 8x10
transparency on a light table looks great. It's like looking at a 13
inch TV (except that the color and resolution is much better). I've
seen a couple of exhibits where people have backlit 8x10
transparencies and hung them on the wall, and there are lots of big
backlit advertising displays. You don't have to use a large format
camera (although you'll get the best results with one), just have a
lab produce enlarged slides from your originals. You could even try
it yourself (before investing big bucks) by scanning the original film
and then printing it out on overhead tranparency sheets.
I imagine that a stereo pair of a table top setup taken with an 8x10
camera on a slide bar and displayed in cross eyed format (for those
who can freeview) on a light table would look spectacular. I've done
a couple of 4x5 pairs and viewed them with the over/under View Magic
and they're pretty neat.
