It is fascinating to me how every time a stocks starts moving up, someone trying to SAVE us from ourselves shows up. Its interesting how the first thing you do once you're on SI Mr. Lowry is bash NVXE. NVXE has no motion picture technologies which cannot be equaled or surpassed by any number of other technology developers, most of which have much deeper pockets (that wouldn't take much. Sorry, couldn't resist). One of the problems with this over-and-under 35mm 3D format is that it is really only useful for smallish cinema screens. Consider that each left and right eye image (stereo pair) uses half of the standard 35mm film frame. These two images are essentially superimposed over each other with a slight offset. The size of the original image is for all intents and purposes half of a standard 35mm frame. This is a relatively small image which doesn't hold up well on big screens. Therefore, the bigger the screen, the less sharp the image. This is exacerbated by the polarizing filters used on the projector and for the glasses which reduce the amount of light reaching the screen by as much as 75%. The result is eye-strain which gets in the way of the entertainment experience. (The electronic 3D glasses are not practical for the mainstream cinema market.) The NVXE system might be ok for screens in the 20-25 foot wide range, but cinema screens are getting bigger, and small screens are being replaced quite quickly. I am also aware of at least two new 3D systems in development which have the potential to make NVXE extinct. The idea that NVXE is a potential competitor to IMAX is ridiculous. New Visual Entertainment, Inc. has jointly developed and secured access to patented,proprietary technology, making possible affordable, high-quality production and exhibition of 3-dimensional imagery. This revolutionary technology, to be known as the New Visual Experience (NVX), allows for cost-effective, high-quality projection of spectacular imagery into traditional multiplex theater centers as well as New Visual Entertainment's own Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) theater centers. Additionally, New Visual intends to bring NVX into the home by utilizing a low cost electronic viewing system that allows worldwide viewing of 3D content on any home television or I've been lurking here for a month or so, and I've read all of the posts. I'm not an NVXE investor, and don't intend to be. I follow the company because I'm in the motion picture business and I have a specific interest in 3D technology.
