Used on an HP Z800 workstation computer the powerful 3D image processing software HP Photon Engine combines several projectors to a scalable super-projector. According to HP, the setup mixes light sources to 'paint' high-resolution images with light dots. The system does not know viewing angle limitations and it works as well in daylight as on curved surfaces. The resulting 2D or 3D projection has a diagonal from two to several hundred feet.
