[simpits-tech] Projector

[joab ryan]

http://www.outwater.com has some lamanite for glass
and other interesting stuff, you might try them.

> BTW... I am exploring some alternative materials for
> making a rear
> projection screen.
> One idea that I tried was using a window tint that
> replicates a frosted
> surface.
> It was not frosted enough to capture the image and
> would blind you
> sitting in direct
> front view of the projector.
> The next idea I am trying is to use a mylar vellum
> sheet material that I
> found. The sheet is used in ultra-wide architectural
> plotters (up to 60"
> wide). So far I have not had much luck finding any
> local source for
> anything wider than 36". This material cannot be
> pieced or seamed
> together without showing either the seaming tape or
> material overlap. To
> order a roll from the factory the minimum roll
> length is 100' so this is
> not an option. However I might be able to get a name
> and phone number
> from them of someone who may have ordered some 60"
> wide rolls and then
> see if they would part with an 8 foot piece.
> After I locate the material, my plan is to have a
> local glass shop mount
> the mylar in an aluminum window screen frame. The
> material would be
> stretched tight in the frame and then I would mount
> the screen frame on
> an adjustable metal stand.
> I will keep the group posted on any developments.
