P3D Stereoscopic Video projection

["Harold Baize" <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is another thing I'm excited about, in addition to the 
new version of Animation Master. 

We've had an InFocus computer/video projector at our 
research group for a few years. I tried it with alternate 
field video and it didn't work. We recently bought a 
Plus U1080 video projector and it works great! You can 
play stereo video recorded with the Nu-View adapter 
and view it through the LCS glasses. The result is 
huge wall size 3D video! It even has less flicker than 
watching on a picture tube (less brightness, I guess). 
I must say, it is impressive! It is like having your own 
3D movie theatre. You must wear the LCS glasses 
but you can project onto any surface, it doesn't have to 
be silver. 

These projectors cost somewhere around $5500. Much 
less than the projectors sold by VRex, but then their 
projectors will work with regular polarized glasses, which 
makes them much more practical for large audiences.

At next month's Oakland Camera Club meeting I will 
bring the projector, Nu-View, and 6 to 8 pairs of glasses. 
So if you haven't been to an OCC meeting in  awhile 
you might want to make it to this one. It will be Tuesday 
February 1st, a 7:30. Visit our web site for map/directions.

Oh, one more thing. The Salem Lutheran Center, where OCC 
meets, has added a security gate. Press the numbers 0-0-1 to 
talk to security to get in (it isn't as difficult as it sounds).
