Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This projector screen lets gamers see two perspectives simultaneously”.
Hey it’s Nick Statt with “ The Verse” We’re here at CES Unveiled the first of the big gadget expos here in Las Vegas., We’re checking out the MirraViz Multiview display. Effectively. It’S a projector screen a multi-layered projector screen that’ll. Let two people see different images from the same display. So, depending on where you sit in the room, you’ll see a different image projected from one of the projectors in the room.. Now the projector screen works only with two different projectors.. The company says they can do many more, but right now they have it showing with two different ones..
So, on the right side, you have an image of “ Toy Story” playing and then, as you rotate from the right to the left, you’ll see it change into a nature. Video. Now MirraViz isn’t doing anything special with the projectors..
They say that these are off-the-shelf projectors.. They have some changes to the optics of the projector, but nothing major., They’re, off-the-shelf projectors hardware that anybody can buy. It’s the multiple layers in the projector screen that are able to handle two different projected images on top of one another.. It’S kind of hard to capture on video, but as a viewer. If you stand directly behind one of the projectors you’ll get a crisp bright image.
And then, as you rotate, it will kind of degrade in quality and degrade in brightness. But it will start to shift into the other image. And then, when you’re standing directly behind the projector on the other side of the room, it’ll, look perfect and crisp and bright from that angle.. Now MirraViz is imagining this as a technology for one for gamers.. So essentially, if you want to do couch co-op with your friend, you don’t have to do split screen. Anymore.
One of you can sit on one side of the room, the other one can sit on the other side of the room. Both of you can enjoy a full screen display and they’re just layered on top of one another.. They also describe this as a way to do competitive gaming without screen looking.. So if any of you played like Halo 2 back in the day, looking at somebody else’s screen, that was like a huge taboo kind of akin to cheating.
Here with the MirraViz multi-display projector system. Both of you have your own screen and you can’t even see the other person’s display.. Now they imagine it’s bigger than just gaming. Now this could be a home theater experience where two different people are watching two different things at the same exact time, without interfering with the other one.. Now, if you don’t own any projectors, the company will sell you a bundle, including the screen, with two projectors for around $ 2000.. Now this week at CES, the company is launching just the screen for $ 499, starting at a 54 inch version..
It scales all the way up to 95 inches.. You can buy it now from MirraViz’s website., It’ll, probably start shipping in a few weeks.
