Sony har åbenbart gang i en ny laser projektion teknologi med en kæmpe
skærm. Det her kombineret med 3D lyder mega kunne blive
godt!

The aforementioned Supervisor insisted we
attend the Most Popular presentation first. Normally, my wife and I
would avoid the most popular areas in this type of event like a
Republican Convention as the majority of folks tend to be screaming
wankers and therefore what is "popular" is rarely cool. However, this
man had been kind enough to drive the necessary eight hours to get us
to the site as well as plan the entire trip (which is helpful, what
with my total illiteracy in Japanese), so we went along with him.
And Goddamn am I glad I did!
Not
knowing what this event held in store, imagine the geek heaven that
slapped at my brain as I entered a movie theater with the largest
screen in the history of the planet! The annoyance melted like ice
cream in hell and I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation of what
would appear on that 500 square meters of white perfection.
The
presentation itself fit nicely into the environmental theme of the Expo
as a series of natural landscapes and images of humanity around the
world were displayed. The level of clarity on display was more striking
than even the enormity of what I was seeing.
Imagine HDTV as an out of focus camera lens. Think of IMAX as a squat box.
This
is the ultimate in ultra-widescreen, laser precision clarity. While I
can't imagine any theaters being built for this format in less than
five years, the possibilities for a whole new array of cinematic
experiences is deafening to my imagination.
Beginning
with documentaries on the natural world, not unlike what I witnessed,
we would be able to see the distant intricacies of our world like never
before.
I
can't help but think of something like Lord of the Rings filmed in this
format. The depth of picture felt wholly real and the images in the
distance were as sharp as what was clearly in the foreground. Digital
animation could become something we have never imagined.
I
can only hope that Sony continues to develop this technology with the
film-loving world in mind. We need people working on new ways to blow
our mind like high priced brain whores.
Though
minimal, the laser projection system is not without it's flaws. The
three cameras projecting onto one screen, while advertised as
"seamless," did indeed leave a visible overlap of light. Thankfully,
this was only noticeable during shots of black like the outer space
sequences and I'm sure it could be perfected in time.
To
begin a day in the middle of the natural world only to end it by seeing
a flawless presentation of that same world using state of the art
technology leaves me breathlessly happy to be both alive and a geek.
Check out this site for more info, but don't let that picture of the screen fool you, it feels much bigger in person.
For
those of you about to scream Sony Plant ("always f**king naysaying!
Everything I create....you piece of sh*t!") I will now deny being a
plant, mineral, or even entirely animal.
I am El Fishbulb Diablo, a Joint Venture of Matsumura Fishworks, Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern, and Beelzebub.
