Nice use of the Fremont Street display. The LED display "canopy", runs along the Fremont Street Experience promenade from Main Street to Fourth Street. Holding the canopy aloft are 16 columns, each weighing 26,000 pounds and can hold up 400,000 pounds, and 43,000 struts.
A section comprising one fiftieth of the total canopy equals the size of the world’s current largest electric sign. More than 12 million LED lamps illuminate the overhead canopy. The new LED upgrade was designed and engineered by LG Electronics, who is also the primary corporate sponsor of the canopy. Within the canopy itself are 220 speakers powered by 550,000 watts of amplification.
Anything new, cool, and/or hip in the world of audiovisual tech. We're talking about the big stuff here. Dome and 3D Projection systems, Mile Long LED Displays, Environmental Surround Sound, Motion Base Simulation. If it belongs in a theme park or museum, it's here.

The Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema, A Study In Depth” by Lenny Lipton
I just found out that the book “The Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema, A Study In Depth” by Lenny Lipton is available as a PDF for free download for personal use only. This book has been out of print for years. It is a great source of information on all things related to the way we perceive 3D. For those of you who want a lot of information on plano-stereoscopic systems, their history and the science behind them, it’s a must (but very technical) read.
