A high-tech stage production of J.K. Barrie's classic "Peter Pan" has brought Neverland to life for hundreds of theatre-goers around the world, most recently at the Threesixty Theater at Ferry Park in San Francisco, California. The play features a spectacular 360-degree video projection onto the inside upper walls of a tent, with images moving behind the suspended actors to create the illusion of flight through Edwardian England.
A high-tech stage production of J.K.

The play features a spectacular 360-degree video projection onto the inside upper walls of a tent, with images moving behind the suspended actors to create the illusion of flight through Edwardian England.
Twelve high-resolution Barco projectors were used sideways to get a wide 9-to-1 image ratio, projecting a 360-degree image conforming to the convex shape of the tent. With 10 million pixels and 15,000 square feet of CGI, the resulting stitched, overlapping images create a seamless, continuous panorama.
