I think this is highly unlikely. For one, The train is being constructed to actual scale with an interior and an exterior. There is simply no place for multiply layers of screen...

I agree that this multiplane method could be difficult to achieve because of the lack of space. But I still think that, unless the issue of shifting perspectives is addressed when using lenticular technology, it would be be a jarring and inauthentic experience. (Now if head-tracking technology is used to alter the imagery according to the movement of each passenger, then lenticular tech would work beautifully. This video shows an example of creating a false window using headtracking
[video=youtube;V2hxaijuZ6w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2hxaijuZ6w[/video] . )

But that camera is quite a distance from the window in that video. Passengers on the Hogwarts Express will be sitting only a few feet away (only a few inches for some) from the window. Test this out. Stand five feet away from a window and move your head only slightly from side to side. Even minimal head movement effects a change in the position and content of scenery. Parallex at work.

If the transparent OLED screens are able to create opaque imagery, then there is no reason why the backstage area of the parks would need to show. The screen furthest away from the window would portray the sky.

I agree with you completely that the tech would be perfect for the frosted effect during the dementor attack, particularly with the inside cabin windows. I posted this theory in the Secret Stash thread a day ago.

True, but the windows are outside the cabin, therefore there should be 3-4 feet of space between them and the screen. It won't be perfect, but using layers will only create the illusion of the screen being farther away.

I guess they could find a way to place a larger 3d screen beyond the window frame.

So, we have basically been hinted to that Hogwarts Express will create a 3D effect without glasses, and none of you have a thought about this? This entire site is acting like, "oh, ok, whatever..." when such tech has never ever ever been done before! Did I log into dufus central by accident?

Wow really, maybe some of just don't care!
If I am missing some reference... I apologize other wise no I don't.

No malice intended. Sometimes I overstate things in order to get the conversation going! :wave:

Where are the Monday goods?!!!!

 

[TheLastAshen]

There is simply no way this thread hasn't been updated all day.... what is happening

 

[blue180]

^hahaha!!! I was thinking the same thing!

There's an update on OTPN that was posted today, but the pics seem older than the ones Themeparkvigilante posted on here most recently. TPV's pics showed a sort of "roof" shape over the station, unlike the ones on OTPN:

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

^Yeah, that & I meant to post them in this thread, not the other WW thread, I just got mixed up, sorry about that!

 

[ReelJustice]

After an initial explosion of steel work, I'm guessing we won't see any substantial *visual* progress to this anytime soon.

To get this thread back on track, what facades do we think are going between Kings Cross and Wyndhams Theatre?

Also, an equally mysterious thing, Hogsmeade Station:

Presumably, we're getting the Order of the Phoenix station (which is also in Hogsmeade currently), but where does that triangle fit in?

 

[columbus]

And this may be old but someone posted ride footage from DC and had some quick shots of the Hogsmeade station [video=youtube;Yym1zN-C5VQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yym1zN-C5VQ[/video]

Could we be getting the station from the earlier movies?

 

[Hatetofly]

The station is custom in many aspects as we never see the whole thing, but the queue will go through a large outdoor section and then into building pictured above from Order of the Phoenix.

A lot of trees to be added also I presume?

Yes!

 

[Nico]

Yes!

HTF, since the stations so close, any chance they will be adding trees to the area around DC too?

 

[Jakester]

So where the Dragons Challenge Lockers are is where we will begin to enter?
