OLARIS
is a time- and effort-saving
tool that is used to adjust projection
systems to their maximum
capabilities. The software, intended
for SGI’s IRIX™ based systems and
other platforms*, produces
user-
defined test patterns needed to
align projection systems
.
P
OLARIS
can generate
pre-distorted
patterns
for flat, cylindrical, dome-
shaped, torus-shaped or conical
screens
on multi-pipe and multi-
channel systems
. It can be used
for both geometric and color
adjustments
.

• Linear polarization
is a
cost-
effective
technology resulting in
excellent image separation
between the left and the right eye
for applications where only
limited head tilting
is possible.

Immersive 3D Impact
Active Stereo
The viewer wears
special
eyewear consisting of two IR-
controlled LCD light shutters
working in synchronization with
either a ‘fast phosphor’ green CRT
projector or a stereo-enabled
DLP™ projector. When the
projector displays the left eye
image, the right eye shutter of the
active 3D spectacles is
closed,
and vice
versa.
• Circular polarization
is a high-
end technology for excellent
image separation between the
left and the right eye and is
independent of head tilting
.
Passive Stereo
The viewer wears
a pair of glasses
equipped with oppositely polarized
filters for the left and the right eye
. The
light from each of two projected images is equally
polarized and passes only through the corresponding filter.
Two projectors or a single CRT or stereo DLP™ projector with a Z-screen,
and a
non-depolarizing projection screen
are required. Barco’s passive
stereo solutions use either
linear- or circular-polarized light
.
Active & Passive Stereo Solutions
In close collaboration with leading
screen suppliers worldwide,
Barco
evaluates and develops the
optimal screen technology
for
systems using polarized light and
blended multi-channel display.
