New digital visualisation technology at Supercomputing 2000 ShowKitchener 06 Nov 2000 High-performance projection technologies Christie Digital System did present a technology demonstration of the world's first stereoscopic 3-D digital projector, based on 3-chip DLP technology, at the Supercomputing Show in Dallas. Sponsored by Fakespace the demonstration will feature a single large-screen display in regular show-level lighting with interactive applications.
Traditionally, active stereoscopic projection has been the domain of analog CRT projectors. This technology, while proven and robust, offers brightness in the range of 250 lumens. Christie Digital's active DLP solution will generate substantially greater levels of brightness. The demonstration unit will offer 10,000 lumens and XGA (1024x768 pixel) resolution at 110Hz refresh capability. As one of the pioneers in visualisation, we're excited to be showcasing the latest in stereoscopic projection technology. Digital, high brightness projectors open up a range of possibilities for new product developments and applications. This will be a welcome alternative technology alongside traditional CRT based projection, says Jeffrey Brum, Marketing Manager, Fakespace Systems Inc. According to Fondacaro, We're very pleased to provide this preview of our solution for 3-D applications. As we continue to address the needs of customers for advanced 3-D environments, we plan to launch an entire suite of stereoscopic 3-D and Virtual Reality projectors. These projectors will be available in varying brightness levels and higher resolutions, including SXGA. Our ultimate goal is to display images that are so visually compelling that the participant becomes more intimately involved and enveloped in the 3-D experience, adds Fondacaro.
