- Abstract
- A noteworthy improvement in the projection of stereoscopic moving images is taking place; the image is clear and easy to view. Moreover, the setup of projection is simplified, and requires no tweaking for continued performance at a high-quality level. The new system of projection relies on the Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), and the basis for this paper is the Christie Digital Mirage 5000 projector and StereoGraphics selection devices, CrystalEyes and the ZScreen.

bio
Lenny Lipton founded StereoGraphics Corp. in 1980 and with it the electro-stereoscopic industry. He is actively engaged as the vice-president of R&D there. Lipton was the first person to produce a flicker-free field-sequential stereoscopic display and holds 20 patents in the field. He received an award from the Smithsonian for his invention of CrystalEyes. His films are collected in the Pacific Film Archive, and as a filmmaker he has traveled to South America as a cultural liaison for the Department of State. A SMPTE member since 1964, he is the author of Independent Filmmaking , which was in print for twenty years. - Copyright
