IMAX: movies with a third dimension that makes you duck

Article Abstract:

Imax Corp. is producing and screening 3 dimensional movies. The films are recorded on 70mm cameras equipped with 2 lenses and 2 rolls of film. The resulting films are shown using 1 of 2 methods where the camera is sychronized with viewers audience members wear like glasses. In the first method, a mechanical shutter on the projector alternates the left and right images to give the illusion of depth. In the second, the film projector alternates between illuminating the left and right films, which are shown and viewed through polarized lenses.

Transferring every real-life shimmy and shake to the PC screen

Article Abstract:

Computer animators utilize motion sensors and electromagnetics to track live movements in order to transfer the images onto animated characters. Actors wear special suits equiped with sensors and make movements while being bombarded by magnetic waves. The data is relayed from a body-pack to a workstation where the animator can use a joystick to apply to movements to cartoon characters.
