Medium-tech solution: At the 1987 Design Automation Conference, the DEC booth had an interesting set-up that included about 60 15-inch TV's in a matrix roughly 6x8. All of them were showing images from their respective portions of a much larger image. The effect was as if looking through a paned window at a movie. (Imagine the number of VCR's and the syncronization needed !!) Low-tech solution: Use 70-mm film (or IMAX). No joke, it really works! You can project on any size screen you want. At the SIGGRAPH held in Minneapolis (1984?), people generated computer graphics onto IMAX film for display in a planetarium with raked seating. Very nice. For a high-tech solution, you can only get about 2000x2000 resolution using today's monitors. You will also have to pay dearly for it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Angus Bond "To make the best better."
