Project tomorrow video screens
- Thread starter mousermerf
- Start date
If there are atleast 6 screens (there are 3 visible in the images) then I think the room will either be very dizziness inducing (imagine 6-7 large screens making it look like you're spinning) or will feel like it's moving forward.
Either way, i'm slightly concerned about the nausea consequences of this design.

The old style logo appears again on the handicap transfer sign! I think that more or less confirms that we'll be seeing a lot more of it after the rehab. Will all the pavilions get their old logos back in some form?
About screens (don't mind SSE related thread drift, don't get me wrong 
)
But - about screens - I counted 4 projectors facing the direction of unload. Like, they'd be mirroring the other side and projecting on the wall in the open space above the roof of unload as we know it.
Assuming the other side also has 4, possibly 5, that gives us atleast 8 screens, possibly 9.

With each new pic, Project Tomorrow looks better and better... is it me or is there a hint of the retro-future styling seen in Soarin's queue?
And thanks for the Innoventions pics; what a sad end to WorldKey. Even a blank wall across the entrance would be preferable to seeing the boarded up kiosk facades. And as for the Communicore entrance - I guess no one would know if it wern`t for the likes of us!

Interesting...a circle-vision type use for graphic/advertisements.
For some reason I thought they took down half of the global neighborhood screens...leaving only the global neighborhood screens that are covering the earth station screens.
Ugh we'll know soon enough!
Oh and now I finally understand how the earth station originall recieved so much sunlight from 1982-1994. The entire area on both earth station east and west...where the project tomorrow sign is being placed right now...that entire area was full of floor to ceiling glass divider walls and glass doors. In 1994 they took that entire area and made into solid divider walls and one or two glass doors to enter and exit through....thus giving less sunlight and more moodlight.

Ok so wait.....you are telling me that the little exit of SSE had that HUGE area with the screens and everything in it? That was EarthStation?????
Wow I am going to have to change my geeky picture taking from HM and ToT to SSE this May!

Exciting stuff! I can't wait to see Spaceship Earth back to being the signature Epcot attraction! So, when does this open again? The 26th, right?
Oh.. there's so much to cover and i keep leaving stuff off.. Foo!
But, remember those snazzy silver railings? Those have a strip of LED's embedded in the bottom rail, so they cast a colorful glow on the floor. Dunno about the outside ones, but the interior ones definately do.

Almost... there were no doors (just open spaces) between the glass dividers, but the open gaps were only as high as they are now; half the ehight of the actual hall. But yes, light flooded in - and since the screens were up above this height in for want of a better word a recessed ceiling they were always bright enough to see.
Yep - Earthstation had 2 guest relations desks between each set of doorways, 10 WorldKey terminals on the southern wall and 7 screens set into the ceiling wall. Plus lots of chairs arranged in rows to face the screens. That`s all it was meant to be; guest relations via the desks and WorldKey, a rolling info center for the park (screens) and a place to relax. Not an in-your-face no-time-to-chill video-generation exhibition. The Bell System (AT&T) had plenty of space to exhibit -they didn`t need to be corporate heavy after you rode SSE. They had half of Communicore West - and the spiel at the end of SSE told you so. All Earthstation had was the Bell logo in the WorldKey sign (WorldKey was developed by Bell System and WED)
BTW; nice avatar, Merf

The new post show will have 8 video screens overhead. 4 on the left near the Body Builder and 4 on the right near the Super Driver and in the middle there will be a inflatable globe with a image projected on it. The Super Driver is like a driving simulator where you supposed to "Drive the Super Highways of the Future" It looks like fun, but there are not that many of them, so it might be a wait to get to drive one.

As I exited SSE today they were hard at work in Project Tommorrow. I saw lots of different images on the screens. I watched the globe inflate and deflate. I noticed another screen facing the other 8 screens. Kinda above the exit of SSE. They had a scissor lift with someone working on one of the screens. The Handrails were very cool with all the led's inside. Looks very cool inside there. I cant wait for this to open up. :wave:
