Re: viewing a QTVR from a projector on a screen

Walter,
Very interesting to read about your experience of the use of synchronized
projectors at Disney World, Florida 25 years ago. Such technology is still
very much in use today, as I discovered when shooting Bridges...

...last September. The 360 degree view out of the windows of 'Bridge 1' was
projected onto the wall of a giant circular room, creating an unbelievably
immersive experience (particularly when Captain Woods introduced storm force
conditions that had me holding on for dear life, amongst other things ;)).
