What Next? Actually, the momentous innovations involved nothing but the use of a wide-angle lens in the same old cameras, and a new screen for such theaters as cared to go to the expense. No prosceniums would have to be torn down, no costly lenses bought. Best of all, the backlog would be safe. Almost all the old pictures could be projected to fill the new, not-so-wide screens. True, about 25% would be lost from the top or bottom of the picture, but as Metro's Dore Schary sanely said. "All you lose is air, anyway...
...cameras are thrown on the same screen by two projectors. In front of one projector is a Polaroid filter that passes light with its waves vibrating, for example, vertically. In front of the other is a filter that passes light with horizontal vibrations. The viewers get glasses with lenses of Polaroid plastic. One lens passes light from the screen that is polarized vertically. The other passes light polarized horizontally. Thus each eye sees only one of the pictures. Since each eye sees the scene from a slightly different angle, as in natural binocular vision, objects appear to have definite distance...
...preference for glasses that do not distort colors, the L. J. Houze Convex Glass Co. announced an all-purpose "Natural View" lens. The result of years of testing chemical combinations to get the right color, the glass can be made into drugstore models or ground into prescription lenses...
"Let's see the scalp," he said after the preliminary question bout was over. He motioned me over to another chair under an enlarged version of a stamp magnifier with a built in light. He flipped a switch and began rummaging with the lens and a sharp wooden stick. Thirty...
The cause is a simple optical principle. The burning effect of the bomb's heat on exposed skin diminishes as the square of the distance (twice as far away, it is one-fourth as strong). But the eye is a lens that concentrates heat and light in a spot...
