('SENSUOUS QUALITY':)

A matter of subject, I think, rather than emulsion grain versus pixel. 
Unless there's something very obvious that I've missed when looking at 
slides.  A sensuous emulsion?  The higher the res the hotter the senses?

I think 'sensuous quality' is a very subjective relationship (perceived 
interaction) between viewer and object.  I used to think 'laser speckle' was 
sensuous; now I like the Impressionists more.  Better content.

And artists have been working that subject in all medias for thousands of 
years. And a lot of people who have visited Dr. Pillips' recommended Hooters 
site (previous post) -- thank you Doctor for adding spice to the recommended 
subjects on this list! -- might think that the CRT is a great place for 
'sensuous quality' stuff.

(NEW LCD VIEWIND STANDARD?)

That is a new one to me. LCD projectors WITH shutter glasses.  Presumably 
you are referring to some 'exotic boardroom' and perhaps in a Hollywood 
film. Imagine the needless cost of outfitting everyone with those glasses, 
except for the 'look'.

Conversely:

(DUAL:)

I am familiar with (having used it) with DUAL polarized LCD projectors, hand 
painted large (12 - 18 feet) silver screen, Andrew Woods' affordable de-mux 
box, and my field-sequential video from VCR.

The audience is wearing CHEAP simple cardboard cross-polarized glasses.

(IMAX GLASSES:)

Once, Imax was kind enough to provide the entire audience (for my 3d video 
premiere in Canada (Sept '98)) with their fashionable large 3D glasses.  
Same one's for video as the ones they use in 3D Imax. Glasses which are VERY 
COOL.

>From cardboard to Imax, the costs are fraction of the cheapest (Isee3d.com - 
$30 bucks they say) LCD glasses around.

(VREX:)

I have seen the VREX VR-series projection system working (a single projector 
using their patented micro-pol technology, and silver screen)almost as well 
as the above.  It works well with cardboard cross-polarized glasses also. 50 
cents each.


(VIRTUAL I/0:)

And my favorite is the Virtual I/0 glasses sending left and right-eye views 
to respective left and right imaging LCD's. (But you pay a lot for their 
high-res models with more pixels.)

(THE AWFUL VR-SURFERS:)

And I've seen a lot of those LCD glasses, from the AWFUL-design 'Vrex 
Surfer' (please tell us WHO designed that number along with its AWFUL 
clear-plastic shield) to the smart-looking wirelesses, and large monitors in 
the boardroom.

(SHUTTER GLASSES WITH PROJECTORS?)

But I've never seen two LCD projectors (data or video) requiring the 
audience to have their personal LCD shutter glasses.

That must look bizarre!

(THE 'ANGEL GABRIEL' TO THE RESCUE?)

Perhaps Gabriel can give us a view on this that's not too 'ControversiAL'.
