Maybe a large part of the issue is that we are looking at the wrong problems in the industry to approach with a collective body. There seems to have been this focus on standards and support by all...

A quick google search will show that there are plenty of conventions going to the Orlando convention center charging between 10 to 12 dollars per square foot of booth space. This is on par with what...

Larry,

Orlando has over 21 hotels within immediate walking distance of the convention center. It is one of the busiest convention centers in the US. It's also parked right in the middle of...

A flight simulator requires a Stewart platform. That is what everyone uses. Just google search it. You'll need a real servo loop controller to run it. And either alot of patience or a multi axis...

Orlando or New Orleans would be ideal from a buyers perspective. However St. Louis being more central is more ideal from a vendors perspective collectively. The lack of hotels immediately around the...

Allen,

Really that's up for you to decide. There are two distinct modes for this effect. The first is a real time mode where the creature, in this case a fat zombie, will follow the movements of...

This is a more refined look at one of our Creature products which is the Kinect based effects we will be showing this year. Again input is greatly appreciated.

It can do all three. You can have an actor running it real time. You can pre-record motions and play them back. And you could turn it around and point it at the crowd and let them have fun with it.

Well I think we can all agree that the ability of dimensional figures to replicate what an actor can do in a costume is a long way off to being affordable to this industry. There are plenty of...

Stew,

You've seen an xbox Kinect and someone dancing around in front of it and a character on the screen is following their every move. It's that with a scary monster.

Here is an early tech demo of one of our new products for the convention this year. This allows an actor to act as a digital character in real time. As always let us know what you think.

Maybe, if I can make it to the convention then yes we will have it running. If my prior commitments cannot be cleared, then no, my partners will be displaying our existing products and the...

The effect is being rendered in realtime by a computer, so you need a computer, and in this particular case a rather zippy one. This allows you to custom tailor it to your scene. With a DVD you...

We have been working on a realtime fire effect that can be tailored to a scene. So if you're looking to burn down the house this is your gag. It's pretty cool, we've been having alot of fun with it....

So I'm going to respond inline because that seems to make the most sense.

This is an initial rough cut of our Clown House effect for the convention. The structure is 16ft wide by 14ft tall. The content being projected on it is far from being finished, but this is enough to...

Responding inline.




We don't have anything against animated props, in fact we love them. Nothing will ever beat a good animatronic utilized correctly and well maintained. It just seems odd...

Controlled costs being the key phrase there.

Video mapping is a part of it but we choose the augmented reality branding because we can bring live elements into the mix.

What we have developed...

kpolley,

As with everything the answer to your questions is complicated.

The simplest thing we can do with this effect is change what is displayed in the hole after the wall blows out. From an...

One of our new products, blending cg effects into a real scene.

Allen, we like the Ben Q MP525 ST. Everything is so tight in our industry a short throw projector is really necessary and you can't beat the 525 for the price. And brother I totally hear you on how...

Fire speeds up oxidation. The vinegar, salt, or acid will help too, put the two together and my it can be done quick. We've found that everything else is a real pain, but fire is fun!

Mcmaster.com for anything you could ever want.

Also the ASCO 8210g3b is a hell of a valve. That is if you're looking for the super heavy duty industrial version. It'll run you about $200 just for...

The method being applied to to make this effect is a heuristic search method to find the alignment between an imaged virtual scene and a real object. Once you have have the alignment of the virtual...

The whole point of asking what people are willing to pay would be for us to begin to make a determination of how to try and package this effect if we are going to attempt to even sell it at all. I...
