Visitors taking a tour of the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology, in Florence, SC, get a special treat as they step into the “Cave” located on the second floor. They walk into what appears to be more of a lounge than an actual “lab” Several tv’s and a projection screen line the room. One of the few clues to what awaits them can be found on the arm of a couch. A very industrial-looking pair of sunglasses.
Put them on and the room starts to pop.
One of the highlights of these virtual displays is the projection of a jet engine. To those unfortunate enough to get the short stick and miss the first round of 3D glasses, the image looks blurry and out of register.
But to the lucky ones, the image comes alive.
Like a scene from a sci-fi movie, viewers can take the engine apart with simple hand gestures and not worry about getting grease on their hands or that recently pressed white dress shirt.
As 3D becomes more mainstream - just look at the movie listings and the new 3D tv’s starting to pop up - you realize how forward-thinking this program is at SIMT.
It’s not the future. It’s here today.
Now if you could just get a pair of 3D Oakley’s or maybe a pair of Versace’s, then it will truly be mainstream.
