Abstract
Rear projection of large-scale upright displays is often preferred over front projection because of the elimination of shadows that occlude the projected image. However, rear projection is not always a feasible option for space and cost reasons. Recent research suggests that many of the desirable features of rear projection, in particular shadow elimination, can be reproduced using new front projection techniques. We report on an empirical study to determine how two of these new projection techniques compare with traditional rear projection and front projection, with the hope of motivating the continued advance of improved virtual rear projection techniques.
