...current exhibit consists of 14 prints of the proposed architectural plans, including two exterior-view prints hand-colored with pencils, two samples of materials to be used in the building and a cardboard scale model of the new museum. Although the exhibit is not similar to the retrospectives and theme collections the Fogg usually displays, the scrupulously plotted plans of the building are aesthetically interesting, and possibly fascinating to those interested in architecture...
Swift jiggling in Cafe Ole to the tune of Pee Wee Herman's "Tequila" and a cardboard car chase scene are also clever choreographic touches. And the cast carries off the patented kickline finale with the Pudding's usual burlesque verve...
Through retailers, Coca-Cola is distributing 20 million pairs of cardboard glasses for the event. But unspectacled viewers will not see a blurry image, as they did with the '50s technology, used in movies like House of Wax. A new process, Nuoptix 3D, uses regular cameras and delivers a normal picture. The illusion of depth is created by different-color lenses in the glasses, which transmit the image 16 milliseconds slower to the right eye than to the left. One catch: to get the 3-D effect, there has to be constant motion on the screen. So even...
Consequently, STAR students use a variety of props. With 3-D models of the universe, they can visualize just how the light of the sun on the moon produces different moon phases. They make their own telescopes from cardboard, paper-towel cylinders and plastic lenses. (The result is a telescope more powerful than the one first used by Galileo.) They record in journals the movement of the moon and sun and chart the arrivals and departures of the constellations...
