Mitsubishi in the Round
Mitsubishi Electric has unveiled a remarkable new immersive display project in Japan. Using 34 of its XGA 67" DLP cubes, the 2 metre tall, 7.5 metre diameter display wall creates a 340-degree panoramic experience that almost completely encircles the viewer with nearly 27 million pixels of seamless display screen.
The system was custom-built at the company's Kyoto factory on behalf of an undisclosed customer, who is expected to take delivery early next year. The panoramic display consists of 17, 2x1 columns of Mitsubishi's DLP-based projection cubes, with a 20 degree gap left for access. Specially developed multiple source image processing combines with the Mitsubishi system's dynamic brightness and colour balancing circuitry to produce the effect of a completely seamless 340 degree immersive display.
At the preview in Kyoto, the company was unable to go into details about the intended use of this particular display system. However Mitsubishi Electric does see great potential for the use of similar immersive panoramic display technologies in museums and in commercial applications such as traffic simulations and data visualisation.
