At the New Years Event (January 13th) of Groningen Seaports an audience of approximately 500 people viewed a spectacular 3D show created by the HPC/V. Using 'stereo glasses' with polarized filters, a projection system with 2 beamers (provided by ProSystems), and a large screen made of a special reflective material, a threedimensional illusion was created.

A virtual helicopter flight took the audience around the future situation of the Eemshaven, one of the two industrial harbours that is managed by Groningen Seaports.

Make a flight with Windows Media Player (small 16Mb, medium 85 Mb).
