Abstract:
1. A system for providing images using a first screen and a second screen, the system comprising: a first stereographic-image projection device for projecting a first polarized image on a first screen at a first distance from an observer; a second stereographic-image projection device for projecting a second polarized image on a second screen at a second distance from an observer, wherein the second screen is substantially transparent such that the first image is viewable through the second screen; a real-object tracking system for tracking the three-dimensional position and orientation of a real object placed between the first and second screens; a video sub-system coupled to the first and second stereographic-image projection devices for synchronizing the first image with the second image, the video sub-system being further coupled with the real-object tracking system such that the first image and the second image are synchronized with the position and orientation of the real object placed between the first and second screens; and an audio sub-system coupled to the video sub-system, the audio sub-system comprising: a sonification system generating a virtual sound field synchronized with the first and second images; a surround-sound speaker system for outputting at least a portion of the virtual sound field; and a low-frequency sound transducer positioned to provide a physical vibration sensation for the audience.
