  2. Active shutter 3D system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_shutter_3D_system

    An active shutter 3D system (a.k.a. alternate frame sequencing, alternate image, AI, alternating field, field sequential or eclipse method) is a technique of displaying stereoscopic 3D images. It works by only presenting the image intended for the left eye while blocking the right eye's view, then presenting the right-eye image while blocking ...

  3. Keystone effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_effect

    The keystone effect is the apparent distortion of an image caused by projecting it onto an angled surface. It is the distortion of the image dimensions, such as making a square look like a trapezoid, the shape of an architectural keystone, hence the name of the feature. In the typical case of a projector sitting on a table, and looking upwards ...

  4. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    In this situation the video cable is grounded at the projector end to the home electrical system, and at the other end to the cable TV's ground, inducing a current through the cable which distorts the picture. The problem is best solved with an isolation transformer in the CATV RF feed, a feature included in some CATV box designs.

  5. Transparency (projection) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(projection)

    Transparency (projection) A transparency, also known variously as a viewfoil or foil (from the French word "feuille" or sheet), or viewgraph, is a thin sheet of transparent flexible material, typically polyester (historically cellulose acetate ), onto which figures can be drawn. These are then placed on an overhead projector for display to an ...

  6. Project Euler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Euler

    Launched. 5 October 2001. Project Euler (named after Leonhard Euler) is a website dedicated to a series of computational problems intended to be solved with computer programs. [1] [2] The project attracts graduates and students interested in mathematics and computer programming. Since its creation in 2001 by Colin Hughes, Project Euler has ...

  7. SIM2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM2

    SIM1 and SIM2 genes are Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene homologs. The Drosophila sim gene encodes a transcription factor that is a master regulator of neurogenesis of midline cells in the central nervous system. SIM2 maps within the so-called Down syndrome chromosomal region, specifically on the q arm of chromosome 21, band 22.2. [6]

  8. LCD projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_projector

    LCD projector. An LCD projector is a type of video projector for displaying video, images or computer data on a screen or other flat surface. It is a modern equivalent of the slide projector or overhead projector. To display images, LCD ( liquid-crystal display) projectors typically send light from a metal-halide lamp through a prism or series ...

  9. Rear-projection television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear-projection_television

    Rear-projection television ( RPTV) is a type of large-screen television display technology. Until approximately 2006, most of the relatively affordable consumer large screen TVs up to 100 in (250 cm) used rear-projection technology. A variation is a video projector, using similar technology, which projects onto a screen .
