Australian Museum Exhibit Sports 3D Bees

BoogieChile writes "According to The Age, the Victorian Museum in Melbourne, Australia has opened a new display called The Virtual Room. In this display, visitors don polarizing 3D glasses to view a series of eight two-metre-wide screens arranged to form a seven-metre-wide octagon, enclosed in a 15-metre-wide darkened theatre. Not only are all the screen images in 3-D, but by walking from screen to screen you can see the same scene - dinosaurs at the edge of a lake, for example - from a different angle. I saw this on the news last night, and it looked really cool - there was a display of Phar Lap, 'Australia's wonder horse', displayed galloping around the track in 3-D, modelled from precise measurements taken from his stuffed body which also lives at the Victoria Museum. Programs on Tasmanian tigers, the ancient Devonian sea and the Cambodian city of Angkor Wat are set to follow, as are interactive programs. Run from screen to screen, for example, and a swarm of 3-D bees will follow you."

With all the posts and interest i see, people really care about the topic! I can't say i've seen such a low amount of posts. I think it's intersesting. I wish the article had more pictures though. I hate when an article talks about stunning 3D displays, etc and no pics or drawings or any visuals. Anyhow, i'm at work and figured i'd say something.
