The gravid attention grabber atthe Met‘s coming output of “ Siegfried ” wo n’t be some Nordic diva . It ’s going to be the advanced 3D projections on a 45 - gross ton lot that will create an intricate forest view . well still : audiences own’t have to dawn those geeky drinking glass :
For its optical sleight of hand , the 3 - five hundred engineering being deploy at the Met will also interact with the trend of the set . The set uses a depository financial institution of projector , movement - capture camera and computer to fashion the images . The rock on the stage allows for hundreds of different projections , changing in slivers of a second , at the different depths to help create , say , the colour , blending and contour of a rock , or at least to convert the eye .
The imagery is picture in naturalistic detail using fractal : fractured geometric shapes that keep iterating cut - size copies of themselves according to mathematical formulas . When the fractal are programmed into the computerized visible radiation scheme , the resultant role is a dim symphony of geometrical detail , devote the trick of three dimensions .
Exciting that they can do this ! Whether they should , though , depends on just how how bountiful a headache those simulated rocks give you by the second number . [ NY Times ]
