Christie Powers Screens And Visual Displays At SIGGRAPH 2014
Christie is powering the screens that are showing some of the visuals effects of several of this year’s biggest blockbuster films and advances in computer graphics at Vancouver’s 41st International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, SIGGRAPH 2014.
Being held August 10–to-14. Christie is also leading a discussion on the latest projection mapping techniques at the NVIDIA Visual Computing Theater. Titled ‘Virtual Automotive: Projection Mapped Graphics for Automotive Design’, Christie will display its latest digital ‘sandbox’, a fully three-dimensional visual pipeline designed to automatically calibrate and maintain a customized projection mapped display, such as a Corvette or other template model of any size.
“Christie CP4230 Digital Cinema projectors are essentially powering the amazing Computer Animation Festival, enabling the leading VFX and film studios to exhibit their best work in two large presentation halls, including AMPAS’ award-winning content in film and animation,” says Jeevan Vivegananthan, senior director of engineering, Christie. “Its projectors will also showcase cutting-edge, real-time interactive technologies and techniques in the CAF’s Production Sessions as well as three sold-out evening shows of the incredibly popular Electronic Theater which features the finest work in computer graphics from the past year. And our 4K projectors will display a special screening of DreamWorks Animation’s ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’.”
Christie is also illuminating the SIGGRAPH Studio and SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery, which includes a 65” LCD touch panel display.
