This has been talked about in the Avatar thread, figured it probably needs a thread of its own.
(Apparently Avatar has made a big splash in 3D, but not so much on 2D screens.)
Does anyone know about what the actual new technology looks like? I know a guy who used to be the projectionist for an IMAX and told me the 3D projector in there was an absolute fucking monster of a contraption. Are these new projectors running off a server or off a disc drive or something? How do they actually receive the films now? Are they like big discs or hard drives?
