Abstract

A multi-projection system having a plurality of projection surfaces onto which images are projected is provided, where the plurality of projection surfaces are disposed on two or more sides not parallel to each other. The multi-projection system provides high three-dimensional images and a high degree of immersion in images and further provides multi-view images, thereby making theater customers feel like they really exist in the space described through the images.

Claims (15)

1. A multi-projection system for a movie theater comprising:

a plurality of projectors which project images onto a plurality of projection surfaces onto which said images are projected, the plurality of projection surfaces being disposed on two or more sides not parallel to each other and being placed so as to at least partially surround a plurality of seats in the movie theater,

wherein each projection surface is formed of a screen or wall surface, and

wherein if the kinds of the plurality of projection surfaces are different from each other, the image projected onto each projection surface is corrected in accordance with the kind of each projection surface in order to make the images look more harmonious,

wherein the correction is performed in accordance with at least one of: the colors of the projection surfaces, the materials of the projection surfaces, and the shapes of the projection surfaces,

wherein the screen is made of PVC, white-coated PVC, pearl-coated PVC, or aluminum-coated PVC.

2. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projection surfaces is adapted to reproduce one image together.

3. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projection surfaces is disposed on the front, left and right sides.

4. The multi-projection system according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of projection surfaces is disposed on one or more of top and bottom sides.

5. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , further comprising a projector disposed on each projection surface to project an image.

6. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein the number of projection surfaces disposed on a certain side is provided plurally.

7. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein the correction is performed in accordance with the distances between the projection surfaces and the projectors caused by the positions of the projectors or in accordance with the image projection angles.

8. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein each wall surface comprises a sound-absorbing material.

9. The multi-projection system according to claim 8 , wherein the sound-absorbing material comprises any one of a porous sound-absorbing material, a vibrating plate sound-absorbing material, and a resonant sound-absorbing material.

10. The multi-projection system according to claim 1 , wherein each wall surface is coated with optical paint for light reflection.
