3d Laser Show
3d Laser Show
3d laser show is a wonderful thing when projected correctly, but there are two different types of 3d commonly used with laser show projectors.
3d laser show projectors are actually standard projectors and the 3d projection is actually handled by the software and not the hardware as sometimes thought.
Example Of A 3D Laser Show
Extruded 3d laser show: This style of animation is actually a 2d projection. The normal 2d projectors project a 3d image on to a flat surface giving it the appearance of a 3d laser show, when in actual fact it is not really 3d. This is the easiest 3d to project. The 3d is actually produced in the drawing of the animation and in the programming of the images. This is a fairly standard style of animation.
Stereoscopic 3d laser show: This kind of 3d laser show projection is very different in the fact that the audience to the show must wear special 3d laser show glasses. Each eye actually sees a slightly different view of the image and these are the four most common stereoscopic 3d laser show projection systems:
Anaglyph or color is the first system that is commonly used. The glasses use a red glass for the left eye and a blue or green glass for the right eye;
Polarized 3d laser uses a polarizing system. The left eye looks through a vertical polarizing glass and the right eye looks through a horizontal polarizing glass.
Alternating field glasses. This type of technology uses a shuttering system. When a left eye image is being projected the right eye shutter closes and when a right eye image is being projected the left eye shutter closes. This all happens at really high speed so the viewer doesn’t even notice it is happening.
Chromatic displacement or ChromaDepth® uses a system that separates the color fields making red images look close to the audience and blue images the furthest away with yellow and green images in-between. This is the type of 3d laser show that Argon Animation has used over the years.
Example of Anaglyph Stereo Without Glasses
This kind of 3d laser show must be projected onto a screen of some kind and cannot be projected into the air. We are often asked to project images similar to the “Batman Logo” onto the clouds or into the air, or effects such as “Princess Leah” appearing in mind air as was seen in Star Wars. Please note that these effects are not actually possible (under normal conditions) and were achieved through video layering. These effects cannot be performed in typical laser shows.
Argon Animation is the leader in laser show projection in The Philippines. We are the only professional laser show company offering professional and safe laser shows with trained operators. We are happy to give you quotations for any kind of laser show including 3d laser show.
