Futuroscope 3D Theme Park – Stereoscopic 3D Amusement Park in France
What do you get when you mix Disneyland with the latest in stereoscopic 3D technology? Well, if you live in France you get a new amusement park where the future is now!
It’s called FUTUROSCOPE and features dozens of visually amazing attractions and shows. The entertainment on offer includes a smorgasboard of IMAX 3D offerings including ‘Deep Sea 3D’ which uses the IMAX Solido Technology in which images are projected onto an 800 m² semi-circular screen. Viewers perceive the 3D effect by wearing liquid-crystal glasses, which become opaque (non-transparent) upon receving an ifra-red signal from the projector. As both the left and right eye images are projected alternately onto the screen, one or the other of the glasses becomes opaque,thus ensuring that each eye sees the appropriate image and creating the 3D effect.
If you dont watch all the video at least checkout the laser holograms starting a 2:20mins
Futuroscope has a massive selection of visual attractions utilizing most of todays most cutting edge vison technologies. The park re-opened on Feb 7th 2009, for more infomation check out Futuroscopes website.

I thought I’d grown out of theme parks… but something like this could maybe turn me back around. The laser light show reminds me of Sentosa Island in Singapore though… not necessarily a good thing :/
