Stereoscopic Laser Projection Displays
Three-dimensional cinematic display techniques generally don’t translate well for laser projections. Wavelength multiplexing may optimize depth effects without the space limitations of those methods.
Laser shows are reemerging as a visual medium for delivering educational and entertaining content. They provide an appealing alternative to the high-definition cinematic displays that now saturate our surroundings. The shows consist of high-contrast line art produced by directing laser beams with fast scanning mirrors. These vector graphics retain the distinguishing visual properties of coherent laser light: collimation, monochromatic color and interference patterns.
