The Economist ~ Moving images into the future

Different technologies produce different percentages of the gamut that the human eye can perceive:

  • plasma screen: max 50%
  • cinema: 60%
  • new laser projector: 90%

Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, led by Dr Bi Yong, in collaboration with Phoebus Vision OptoElectronics Technology.

Will initially be 10 to 20 times more expensive than conventional DLP projectors, but significantly lower running costs: 35% of electricity + far longer life of the light source.

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
