This
exhibit is based on the principle used to make the first 3-D
movies. Hanging objects are illuminated by two projectors.
One projector has a red filter, the other has a green filter.
On the screen, each object produces two shadows-one from each
projector. Where an object blocks the red light, there is
a green shadow; where an object blocks the red light, there
is a green shadow. The viewers contain red and green filters:
the left eye looks through a red filter, the right eye looks
through a green filter. Through the red filter, the red shadow
looks dark; through the green filter, the green shadow looks
dark. Each eye sees a differently placed shadow of an object.
The brain combines these two shadows and sees a single, fused
image in 3-D space. Thus, all the objects between the projectors
and the screen are reproduced as shadows floating in space
between the viewer and the screen.
