Panavision dolby-like 3D system
Panavision's new 3D projection system works for 35mm film and digital projectors. It uses a filter in front of the projector and passive glasses 'à la Dolby' splitting the color spectrum in two halves, each with some red, green, and blue. The reusable glasses are expected to cost $5-$7 apiece.
Because the system uses the entire visible spectrum, polarization is not required; so images can be shown on a white screen – and the system can be used with all projectors, with the use of a special lens for film projectors or a filter mechanism for digital systems.The lens and filters are part of the new Panavision offering, which also includes high quality reusable glasses and a cleaning and sanitizing system. System set-up, training and technical support are also provided.
The glasses filters were digned by Omega Optical (web site here).
