Message-ID: <6313@ecsvax.uncecs.edu> Date: 2 Feb 89 02:57:31 GMT Organization: Triangle R&D Corp,RTP,NC Lines: 20 OK, no one else asked, so I will. What is the alternate polarized frame process used in the Capt EO film at the Epcot Kodak pavillion? What is the frame rate? Is it a shutter system or twin projectors? MY two cents is that it is the best 3-D effect system I have ever seen and whether you like the main person in the film or not, the film is impressive and is a 'must see' at Epcot. For those unfamiliar, the film is a long music video as such featuring Michael Jackson. Special effects are so-so but the 3-D is very good- any seat in the theater feels that the actors are a few feet in front of them. The viewers must wear special glasses that are polarized in perpendicular fashion. There are a few artifacts of the other image visible at times, but the effect leaves the red/green and the Nuoptix far behind. -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *
