Projection technique

What projection technique is used on the water screen or the Aquavision water curtain?

Overhead projection is vital since front projection does not work on this type of screen. 

Difference

What is the difference between a water screen and an Aquavision water curtain?

The water screen is produced by water projected at very high pressure in a semi-circle from the surface of the water. The water screen can only be used outdoors. The Aquavision water curtain is created by water falling from distribution piping set at a height ranging from 1 to 30 meters. The Aquavision water curtains can be used indoors or outdoors.

Dimensions

What dimensions does a water screen come in?

Water screens are three times as long as their height. All dimensions can be produced up to about 60 meters at the base and 20 meters high.

Sea water

Can the water screen be used in sea water?

YES. The water screen works just as well in sea water as in fresh water.

Type of projection

What type of projection can be produced on a water screen?

All high-powered projections (Pigi, Hardware or Pani) Cinema 35 or 70 mm (7 KW Xenon projector) & video projection (minimum 12.000 lumens).

Advantages

What are the advantages of a water screen?

The great attraction of this technique is the surprise effect. Indeed, when the water screen is not working, it is invisible to the public eye and can appear and vanish at any moment in the show. The other advantage of this technique is the relief effect it gives. The projected image seems to be three-dimensional.

Drawbacks

What are the drawbacks of a water screen?

The water screen is relatively sensitive to wind. If it is windy, the images projected may become fuzzy due to the projection surface losing its shape.
