Transparent displays?

[Dutch_Razor]

Dunno, but there were some curved ones in at least one episode.

I still think it's easier to either project it as stated or just bluescreen it, simple copy n paste.

Bumpity bump.

This used to drive me insane as I couldn't for the life of me figure out how they did it, until I just went back and watched Rising...




If you look under the control console, you can see the projector on the wall behind the transparency

I think TPTB screwed up there.. big time :\

The least they could of done was had somebody stand o block view of the projector. Seriously, that is a big mess up!

Not really, the plot screw-ups are worse, this is just another inocent mistake.

[thekillman]

its not a big screwup, seeing as we only noticed now....

[Dev Corvin]

Hmm... well it's possible that it was actually done INTENTIONALLY, considering how it's a pretty valid form of display technology.

I mean, when they want to show holograms they've proven that they can, like the Puddle Jumper's HUD for example. It's just as feasible that the Lanteans themselves used rear-projection screens in the control room.

[thekillman]

why not. its cheap an easy, besides the box projecting looks a bit lanteanish.

they can just cover the projectors up as something lantean.

noone notices such tiny details

Somebody did.

The real question is, who's going to be the first to build themselves a replica?
