Transparent Projection Screens part 1
I've been meaning to post these videos for months, but just never got round to it...
Late last year, I was immensely flattered when John Reaves, Alyce Dissette and Hal Eagar asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with photographer Janet Sternburg in creating a multimedia exhibit for the Seoul Institute of the Arts. Of course I said yes, and by January 2009, I was getting deep into design research.
As part of this process I tried to identify a good transparent projection screen. In the end we didn't go with this kind of projection design, however, without going into too much detail about why, here's some rough video tests I did. Apologies for the shaky handheld camera (I was in a rush, and working by myself), but hopefully these videos might be a resource for someone else doing similar research.
This one shows tests with an acrylic screen made by Da-Lite. I wasn't too impressed with this one... Low contrast, and didn't deal with ambient light very well. This product definitely wasn't going to be good enough to show Janet's photography on...
