Metropolitan Opera uses 3-D set projections

[John Fairstein]

The Metropolitan Opera in New York City will introduce 3-D projections for its production of “Siegfried” next season, the third installment in its “Ring” cycle directed by Robert Lepage.

The performers will appear to move inside a 3-D world created by projections; audience members will not need 3-D glasses to experience the effect...

Very interesting, and not exactly what I thought it would be from the headline (I was thinking 3D distortion of 2D projection to match 3D real world objects) - but the moving set and the fractals sounds like they've taken that idea to a whole other level.
