Hello,Has anyone experimented with lenses (fresnal or glass) in front of a projector to bring the image in closer to the source projection unit? I have a tandem seat arrangement and the panoramic side screens will come in too close given the room we are allowed to use.Thanks.Jay

Hi I heard of someone experimenting but with Zoom Lenses on the projectors with great results.Regards,Roberto

Jay,You might consider using a mirror to fold the optical path. You can use the same lens while reducing the room size required to get your lens-to-screen length. Matt Olieman has posted about his efforts in this area. He actually took this a step farther and made a flexible mirror so he could project on a home-made curved screen. http://www.a340project.us/gallery10.htm The results look pretty impressive.Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.comwww.mikesflightdeckbooks.com

Ah. Firing the projectors from the front towards the mirror then bouncing the image down to the wrap around displays. This effectively emulates twice the physical distance the projector is transmitting allowing you to get twice the screen size for half the physical placement distance. Very slick idea.I appreciate the suggestion.Thanks Mike.J.

Here's what I did :I have 2 projectors and a small room.So I used 2 wide angle video objectives.Now my images are 2x bigger on the same distance.Mirrors can make pixels to be seen more.
