Looking at the marketing pages for the two projectors mentioned is hilarious. They show images projected onto brightly-lit white walls with areas that are significantly darker than the wall, which is of course impossible.
Unless/until some material comes along that is tuned somehow to only reflect light that comes from the projector, they'll have to remain limited to dark rooms.

- jaywalk 4y agoI wasn't talking about visibility. I was referring to the marketing pictures showing the projectors essentially "projecting darkness" which is impossible. No part of a projected image can possibly be darker than the surface it's being projected onto.
- pwinnski 4y agoThat video demonstrates the problem exactly. The "before" shot shows a clip from Lightyear which takes place in the black of space, and the screen is filled with high-contrast bright colors on a completely-black background. The "after" shot is of a bright sunny day where a car (low contrast despite the bright red color, to my eyes) drives through a desert. You could hardly ask for more directly opposite videos. For a real comparison, I'd have liked to see the same Lightyear clip on both setups.
