Almost the beginning. The responsive workbench (formerly on the right) has moved to the other room (on the left). The old electromagentic tracking system is still in the place. |
Cabling and painting (we have to reduce light reflections) has begun. |
Its getting dark. Almost a cave without screens. |
Now there is a floor and the framework for the screen and camera attachment. |
Ups, almost forgot to set up the subsonic sound drivers on the floor. Thx goes out to the guys of the installation team to re-lift the quite heavy wood/aluminium construct once more. And then: Let it be light - well at least to test the floor projection quality for the first time. We prefer the atlantis demo to get into the right mood ;). Brightness and contrast of the floor front projection is quite good and the first test did satisfy our expectations. |
The mounts for the video projectors. Each screen needs two of them (left and right eye). Left and front screen are back projected. The left screen is directly driven (no mirrors), the front screen needs a mirror due to the limited distance between projector and screen in our setup. The last picture on the right shows the floor projection (with one projector missing during installation) wich uses a mirror under the roof. |
Yeah, there we are. The first thing to do: test the quality! As you can see from our sceptical facial expressions we are searching for tweaks and small inconsistencies ... but we did not find too many. So we could finally enter into beta mode! |
