My last 3D experience was a mess. It was Avatar at the cinema, and like most people, I left frustrated. The 30 seconds of the Haribo ad being more entertaining than the 3 hours of Cameron’s blockbuster; be it from the script or a technical point of view. Not mentioning the popcorn sound effect from my neighbour, soundtrack I would have happily done without. It is therefore with scepticism that I put my sunglasses on at the Deep Space of Ars Electronica. But I have to admit the experience was final. Facing a 12m by 9m screen, the viewer is immersed in the images moving in front of his eyes. The originality of the Deep Space is to reinforce the immersion by lengthening the screen to the floor: in front of our eyes, above our heads and all the way beneath our feet, the image is there. We are surrounded, ready to take off.
