Project Details

"The NONA-Vision is a high-resolution, wide-angle video capture and projection system. The display is composed of nine rear-projection screens. Images for the nine screens are captured by a specialized camera-head, in which the optical centers of nine video cameras are located at the identical position." 
 
"The NONA-Vision aims to achieve high-resolution video images of remote environments by using specialized multiple cameras." Using eight mirrors, the optical centers of the cameras can be located at a single point thus providing images on a surrounding screen without distortion. 
 
The display itself is mounted on a 360 degree turntable with orientation sensors.
