Briefingroom on LiveDesignOnline: Christie® is bringing the past to life at Tillicum Village, a Native American cultural experience, with holographic images powered by two Christie HD10K-M Series 3-chip DLP® projectors. Using built-in Christie AutoStack™ and Christie Twist™, the projectors cast holographic images onto a Musion screen of a storyteller interacting with live actors and drummers throughout the performance on stage, helping capture unique tribal traditions. Located on Blake Island in Puget Sound, Washington, Tillicum Village and its Long House Theater present the history, tradition and culture of the Coast Salish tribes located along the state’s western border.

Christy Autostack as well as charlietwist seem like promising software especially with how poorly projectors can be set up sometimes. They will often only fill a section of the whole projection screen simply because whoever set it up did it improperly. Theoretically this would help with that by analyzing the projection area and adjusting the output to accommodate.
This sounds very interesting. I like how they have combined the ancient Native American rusticity with modern projections. The Christie Twist sounds like a dream with it's perfect, seamless image. I find it very cool that the narrator is entirely a projection. It kind of reminds me how Native American cultures are starting to become lost in this modern world. Their traditions are dying away, so I read this article as if it is a metaphor. With that aside, I think this technology is really going to help media grow in the theatre world.
