new projection screens - crazy stuff

[scarab]

hi,

just saw on tv a program about a german firm, that have invented some new projectionscreens...
these things look really great!!!

these are two glass windows, and in between a very slightly sightable screen.
you can project on these things at full daylight, even put a spot on the back of the screen and you'll still see picture clearly as in the dark.

the screens are only made by request and in any size wanted.

i had not much time so i only could look through theire website a little bit -> http://www.sax3d.com/

if anyone got more info on these screens (prices, etc...) please post.

THESE THINGS LOOK FANTASIC!!!!!!

cheers

i only think that they will be heavy like hell...

They are heavy like hell. On the Site you can only see the weight of smaller screens like:

a 1.3 M * 1 M

weighs ~ 30kg!!!!!!

Would be nice to know if they can mount it between 2 plexi glasses.

I see alot ot these screen in our city, and I have to say: They are very light, but the viewing angle is also very limited (much smaller than a TFT...)

you're sure these are the same, because as far as i know that's one special thing that they advertise, that these screens don't have any difference in the picture, no matter from which angle you're watching

also i came to know by a friend that these screens are not new at all.... already offered at www.holopro.de

not expensive....unaffordable :-)

First of many posts I hope. Been keen on VJing for years just never found a forum for tips and advise. I will tell people more about myself and what I get up to in a general chat area or feel free to PM me.

Anyway sticking to the topic looking for a Cheap projection screen for a club that I do visuals at.

I have 2 problems one is UV there is alot of it in this club, too much if you ask me, hence any material that is white glows like a police man's beacon and the other is money or should I say a lack of it. But I guess us VJ's, if I can call myself that do it for the love of it, not the money.

Can anyone help, anyone got any ideas. Anyone got a screen in their loft they can donate?

Budget ?100
Ideal size 6ft x 4ft or 8ft x 6ft
