Definitions

  • an image generating system having a generally horizontally disposed stage area and, adjacent the stage area, a viewing area in which members of an audience can be accommodated for viewing images on the stage area, the viewing area being adjacent and extending away from a front region of the stage area such that the members can view said images in a viewing direction extending from the front region to a back region of the stage area, the system further including at least one image generating means operable to generate an image which is perceived from said viewing area as being located rearwardly of the stage area, beyond the back region thereof, there being an upwardly extending light reflective panel mounted across the back region of the stage area, the image generated by said at least one image generating means being generated such that it is reflected by said panel means towards the viewing area and thereby be perceived from said viewing area as located rearwardly of said stage area.
  • the or each image generating means is positioned such that the image it generates is reflected towards the viewing area by the light reflective panel means mounted across the rear of the stage.
  • the panel means extends upwardly, preferably from the stage floor. Its height, and also its width across the stage, most preferably is such that its upper edge, and also its side edges, are not discernable from the viewing area. Such height and width may be achieved by the dimensions of the panel means being such that it extends above and beyond each side of the stage area a distance such that its upper and side edges are concealed by the proscenium. Alternatively, those edges of the panel means may be concealed by objects on the stage area or the stage setting.
  • the size of panel means most preferably provided is such that it may not comprise a single sheet of light reflective material due to the limited upper size in which such material is available.
  • the panel means may be formed of sub-units positioned in edge-to-edge relation to each other so as to constitute a single panel means.
  • the panel means may be provided by rear mirrored glass sheet.
  • the doubly reflective nature of such sheet resulting from reflections from both the front and rear surfaces is found to highlight junctions between adjacent sub-units.
  • non-mirrored glass sheet of which the rear surface has been painted a coating material applied thereover is preferable for this reason to use non-mirrored glass sheet of which the rear surface has been painted a coating material applied thereover.
  • the coating material preferably is a painted coating. With such painted glass, reflection substantially occurs only from the front surface and junctions between adjacent sub-units are not apparent, at least not to a significant extent from the viewing area.
  • the panel means may be such that it is capable solely of reflection from its front surface. It thus may be of front mirrored glass; glass having a reflective plastics film or metal foil over its front surface; relatively stiff wood panelling or plaster-board having a reflective film, foil or finish provided over its front surface; stiff metal sheet having a polished front surface or a reflective film, foil or finish over its front surface; stiff plastics sheeting having a glossy front surface or a reflective film, foil or finish over its front surface; or the like.
  • the screen is mounted in the fly-loft above the stage area in a position, forwardly of the panel means, and at an inclination such that a reflection by the panel means of an image projected on the screen is able to be seen from the viewing area.
  • the reflection is perceived from the viewing area as a direct image of that projected on the screen, as if the latter image was in fact positioned rearwardly of the panel means by the distance separating the panel means and screen.
  • the reflection provided by the panel means is a reversal, in the forward and reverse direction, of the image projected on the screen.
  • the arrangement is such that the perception of the projected image from the viewing area is of it constituting and actual, preferably distant, rearward extension of the setting on the stage area.
  • Figure 3 is a partly cut-away perspective view of a theatre incorporating an alternative system according to the invention.

Abstract

Un système générateur d'images comporte une aire de scène (S) disposée horizontalement et, adjacente à l'aire de la scène, une aire de visualisation (V) dans laquelle un public (M) peut être accueilli afin de visualiser des images sur l'aire de la scène. L'aire de visualisation est adjacente et s'étend à l'opposé à partir d'une région frontale (132) de l'aire de la scène, de sorte que le public peut visualiser lesdites images dans une direction de visualisation s'étendant à partir de la région frontale jusqu'à une région arrière de l'aire de la scène. Le système comprend en outre au moins un moyen (126) générateur d'images que l'on peut commander pour générer une image (128), perçue à partir de ladite aire de visualisation comme étant située en arrière de l'aire de la scène, au-delà de sa région arrière. Le système comporte également un panneau (130) réfléchissant la lumière, s'étendant vers le haut, monté sur la région arrière de l'aire de la scène, l'image générée par le dit moyen générateur d'images au moins étant générée de manière à être réfléchie par ledit panneau, vers l'aire de visualisation, et ainsi est perçue à partir de ladite aire de visualisation comme étant située en arrière de ladite aire de la scène.
