nwave pictures giant screen film “encounter in the third dimension” presents the development of 3d technology in a fun and factual manner for audiences of all ages. “encounter in the third dimension” takes audiences to the institute of 3d technology where an intelligent, yet bumbling, professor tries his hand at creating his own 3d innovation, dubbed real - o - vision. audiences will encounter early incarnations of the third dimension, from a re - creation of one of the earliest 3d movies ever made to classic clips from hollywood’s 3d heyday during the 1950s .
while the title is clearly intended to be
encounter in the third dimension ,
the actual on - screen title includes a typo generated by m. a. x. , the first of many malfunctions. max tries to fix it, but destroys the title in the process .
a large - format 3 - d movie about the history of 3 - d images on film sure sounds like a good idea, but ultimately
encounter in the third dimension
is more a test of endurance than a history lesson or anything resembling entertainment .
encounter in the third dimension'' resembles several other giant - screen imax releases because it' s interesting primarily because of the size of the screen. the film packages a lot of material about 3 - d movies into a goofy story about a scientist who wants to demonstrate his latest 3 - d invention .
using cgi technology to its maximum potential, 3 - d sight gags abound in this thrilling presentation that integrates computer generated imagery and live action to explore the history of 3 - d photography and 3 - d motion pictures. audiences will encounter early incarnations of the third dimension, from a re - creation of one of the earliest 3 - d movies ever made to classic clips from hollywood' s 3 - d heyday during the 1950s. with the latest filmmaking technology, nwave takes moviegoers on the wildest 3 - d adventure ever created for the giant screen. directed by ben stassen and produced by charlotte huggins ,
encounter in the third dimension
immerses the audience in the 3 - d film experience .
in
encounter in the third dimension,'' we meet a professor (stuart pankin) who hopes to unveil his new gimmick, real - o - vision. he has enlisted elvira (
mistress of the dark,'' the credits remind us) to sing a song in this new process, but she keeps getting interrupted as the machinery breaks down, and so the professor dispatches a flying robot named max (voice also by pankin) to entertain us while he works on his invention .
so, let' s add a visual variable to increase the number of displayed dimensions and assign three different colors to the class attribute. now the 2d plot displays three dimensions: petal length, petal width and the class column. adding the visual variable color to the class attribute immediately reveals a third group by dividing the group in the upper right into two groups: the green and blue one .
how the information of the remaining dimensions can be displayed with a tooltip is described in this article .
using a simple scatter plot to visualize the data, we immediately encounter the problem of multi - dimensionality. while the first plot shows randomly scattered points – as it seems – the second reveals a clear pattern, with a group of points in the lower left and another group in the upper right. since only two dimensions are visible at one time, one must try out all combinations of the five dimensions to get an overview over the characteristics of the data .

for a web - based solution, one might think at first of google' s chart api. strangely enough, they do not provide the possibility for different colors and shapes in a scatter plot (only for a line plot). i' m quite curious for an explanation, why a line plot with its different colors for each line needs different shapes but not the scatter plot. nevertheless, at least a third dimension can be displayed using the visual variable
size
, as depicted below :

it takes more than effects to sustain any type of film, even one in which the star, in this case 3 - d, is itself a novelty .
compared to the r solution, the solution created with knime is quite straightforward. simply attach the visual variables to the data table pushed through the pipeline. the screen shot below shows the knime flow and one example dialog to assign the color to the attribute
sepal width
.
although one can distinguish the two groups at a glance in the left plot is not possible to see that the larger group consists of two groups. the right plot clearly reveals the three groups - hence it depends on the correct combination of displayed columns (in this case: petal length, petal width and class) .

then it' s back to the dreary, cavernous lab and what should be the highlight of
encounter
- - sneak peeks at the very latest applications of cutting - edge 3 - d technologies, including a fleeting clip of the new theme park film
terminator 2: 3 - d .
unfortunately, it is this portion of the film that is the most tedious .
but if
t - rex
isn' t scholarly, at least it' s entertaining .
encounter
strikes out on both counts. the entertainment value is almost nil - - most of the jokes fall flat, and the entire plot line involving elvira seems pointless - - and what little information is offered is hardly worth the exercise. what it all amounts to in the end is a high - tech mess .

in r it is possible to assign all visual variables described above to a scatter plot. the script i wrote is certainly not the best r script ever and there are probably some way more elegant solutions. the only way to assign different shapes was to add the points of the different classes successively. anyway, if you are interested in the script you can find it here and the result is displayed below .

with the latest filmmaking technology, nwave takes moviegoers on the wildest 3d adventure ever created for the giant screen .
the story is pretty lame, and the info is familiar. is there likely to be anyone in the audience who isn' t familiar with the 3 - d effect of the stereopticon? (children know it as the familiar viewmaster .) still, no doubt about it, the 3 - d effect in the imax format and its cousin, omnimax, is the best i' ve seen. that' s because of the huge screen, which covers peripheral vision, and the oversize projectors that pump out a lot of brightness. the glasses, which resemble science - fiction headsets, contain shutters that separate the images for each eye; the result is truly three - dimensional, all right .

we could also assign the color to a numerical attribute – let' s say to the petal width column. obviously, then the plot shows redundant information: the color changes from the left (red) to the right (green), since the color is assigned to the values displayed on the x column. if a visual variable is assigned to an attribute of the data, then this attribute should not be displayed using other dimensions of the plot .

but the underlying problem with 3 - d remains exactly the same as when
bwana devil'' and
house of wax'' first hit the screen in the 1950s: it' s unnecessary most of the time and distracting the rest of the time. the ordinary 2 - d illusion of movies has long been accepted all over the world as an acceptable illusion of reality. the 3 - d illusion seems used mostly to throw things at the audience. that gets old after a while. if the purpose of a movie' s story is to absorb us, every exaggerated 3 - d effect breaks our reverie and calls attention to the technique itself .

elvira, the crypt keeper and george carlin host the 1994' s fox halloween bash .
synopsis: a bumbling professor (stuart pankin) welcomes us to his laboratory, where heís about to unveil his amazing new 3d process, real - 0 - vision. to help with the demonstration, heís enlisted showbiz personality elvira, mistress of the darkness (cassandra paterson). but just as things are getting started, something goes wrong with the real - o - vision machine, leaving elvira trapped between the second and third dimensions. while the professor tries to set things right, his robotic assistant max entertains the audience with a history of 3d technology from its beginnings to the present day .
as one can see, the attributes petal length and petal width are best to distinguish the class attribute. the size and the color (representing sepal length and sepal width) are non - predictable distributed over the plot and between the different shapes, saying that it is not possible to determine the class attribute from these dimensions .
by the way, the same holds for a 3d scatter plot if the data has more than three dimensions – see 3d scatter plots below .
sometimes the concept of dimensionality in plots is misunderstood. a scatter plot cannot only display two dimensions (i' m not talking about a 3d scatter plot) but up to five or more. dimensions in visualizations are not necessary orthogonal spatial dimensions. with visual attributes such as color, size and shape one can easily add some more dimensions to a visualization. in the following i will discuss some of the advantages and problems of such an approach .

the filmmakers have ballyhooed the fact that this is the first large - format film to open in both an institutional theater (the california science center) and commercial venues (two edwards theaters) on the same day. the california science center has high standards about which films it will accept for exhibition - - they have to be both entertaining and educational. recently the center sparked controversy for turning away the 3 - d romp

so who cares if the plot' s sketchy and repetitive, and the dialogue childish? it' s the spectacle here that counts. and it really works; the superbly detailed cg chamber where the action takes place, the lighting and textures are lovely and highly detailed and the animation is excellent - especially during the phenomenal roller - coaster ride to the centre of the earth simulator sequence. on the downside, there is a lot of strobing on some fast moving scenes (lack of motion blur), and not all of the elements hold together (but these are minor complaints). topped of with a suitably wacky number from elvira, it' s easy going fun with 3 - d that benefits from the visually all - encompassing imax format .
for the examples below i use the well - known iris data set with four numerical dimensions (sepal length, sepal width, petal length, petal width) and one nominal attribute – the specific class of the referring iris plant. a small sample of the data set looks like this :
things go awry with the real - o - vision, and while the professor tinkers behind the scenes, max presents a more straightforward account of how 3 - d images are created on film. included in this segment is a re - creation of the lumiere brothers' 1903
l' arrivee du train
which literally scared turn - of - the - century audiences out of the theater, and a slew of fun clips from campy 3 - d movie classics from hollywood' s 3 - d heyday, the early 1950s .
a quite nice flash - based online api is the one of amcharts, which allows the assignment of the visual variables

and
color
. there is also the possibility to use define the shape, but as with google' s chart api only one shape per scatter plot .
first of all, even if the movie is available in 2d and 3d... hum... this is definitively a 3d movie experience. . worth 4 stars and only 2 stars if you watch it in 2d. so get your special flicker glases and enjoys those things that like to come out from your tv .

( all plots above are created with knime. the 3d scatter plot is still experimental though and not part of the official release) .
to be fair, much of the 3 - d is impressive. but the filmmakers have chosen to use the technology to jolt and pummel the audience rather than dazzle and amaze. on a roller - coaster - like simulated trip to the center of the earth, the film' s effects are real enough to make you imagine that you are really moving (including a potential dose of motion sickness), but there' s no real fun involved or any sense of where you' re going on this ride .

the primary function of max, it goes without saying, is to zoom toward the audience and hang in mid - air, seemingly inches from our faces. dr. johnson once said of a dog standing on its hind legs :
it is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all.'' watching max whizzing about, i reflected that it was done well, but, alas, i did not want it done at all .
i enjoyed this video, the cgi 3d effects are well done & elvira is always a delight. however this was produced for imax viewing & does not translate well to smaller screens. i have a 3d dlp projector (120 hz) in my home theater that produces flicker - free 3d on a 7ft wide screen & it still seemed like much of the action (people especially) looked small & distant. i would recommend this for anyone with a 3d projector or 3dtv at least 60
