Geodesic Screen

This is a flexible rear-projection screen we built as a canvas for video art. The spherical surface helps reproduce 3D content when using our VR software pipeline.

The geodesic panels can be configured in convex (curved outwards), concave (curved inwards) and flat screen arrangements depending on the installation requirements.

Specifications

Our design consists of up to 144 triangular panels suspended within a icosahedral frame. These all have a layer of rear-projection film applied which display the image on both the concave and convex sides of the installation.

An area of at least 2m³ (with an additional 1-2m on the projector side) is required for the entire structure. The panel configuration and the array of projectors we use is determined by the field of view, brightness level and resolution required.
