We didn’t have a Club meeting in August because of its proximity to 3D-Con. As a result, we’ll have the Image of the Year Show and awards presentation ceremony at the September meeting. This, in turn, will delay the start of our 2017-18 Club competition season until October. So, this gives everyone another month to assemble their entries.
The meeting will include a demonstration of the prototype for a new interactive 3-D display device called the Holoplayer One, developed by the company Looking Glass. The HoloPlayer One generates 32 different simultaneous views by using a lenticular overlay mounted onto a 2560px X 1600px screen, with each of these three dozen views displayed at a resolution of 267px x 480px. These 32 views are generated behind the scenes in realtime through the HoloPlay SDK. An optical circuit consisting of an extremely high gain retroreflector array and several other optical films then reimages those 32 views above a beamsplitter, enabling comfortable 3D interaction through and within the floating lightfield!
The meeting will also include the installation of club officers for the 2017-2018 year. device
The meeting is free, and open to the public.
