3D in the classroom college level, forestry, photogrammetry, projector, 3D vision
Hello,
I am brainstorming right now, as I have a meeting with the VP at my local college tomorrow. Is it possible to use a 3D projector in a classroom setting using a quad buffered "stereo in a window" GIS application for forestry?
I want to figure out if students can simultaneously view a "Powerpoint screen" whereas I can flip from a presentation back to ArcMap in 3D as part of a workshop.
Is this a ridiculous idea? What are some foreseeable technical issues?
What is the best projector to use?
How many students can I cram in front of an emitter?
Would it be better to use a large format 3D-TV for the workshops? $$$$$$
Any help making this happen would be much appreciated.

If nvidia supports quadbuffered opengl you should be fine.
Myself i'm using the iz3d-drivers which supports quadbuffered (beware for 64-bits systems and quadbuffered 3d, at least for now) but you have to pay for that option. It's one time fee though. On the other hand iz3d supports dual projectors so with two projectors, polarizationfilters and silverscreen you'll have a top notch "pa-3d" which is most suitable for many viewers. The viewers only needs to wear passive polarized glasses. It's not cheap though but it's more than twice as bright as a comparable shutterprojectorrig.

Thanks Likay,
I am more familiar with the active set-up.
Does anyone know if NVidia offers educational rates on the shutterglasses, as I would need 20+

I can't see any student wanting to wear 3d shutterglasses while viewing 2d content... then again READING 2d content.
That's just asking for trouble right there.
They certainly won't mind wearing the glasses while viewing 3d, but I think if you're trying to mix it with their school work
you will find more kids just take the glasses off than wear them, because they can't read the notes or write on their papers
with expensive shutter glasses on !!
So I think passive would be a great alternative, or just have a time for viewing 3d content.. then take off the glasses when reading/doing work.
Best projector ? Well anything that's DLP is great because they have 0 ghosting.
And you can cram as many kids in front of the emitter as the room will hold. (And you budget will allow you for glasses) :)

The content is aerial high resolution stereo imagery (40cm). The presentation is meant for 3D visualization of ecosite information, and tree height measurements...
