>Reminder: the deadline for our Second Annual Model Contest for the
>Digistar II Planetarium Projector at the Reuben H. Fleet Science
>Center is a week from today, Mon. 26 April 2004. (Our last
>email erroneously gave this as a Wednesday.)

>Today Mike Pique and myself were down at "the Fleet" benchmarking
>the display. Its maximum frame rate is 50 Hz. Showing 1024 disjoint
>drawn lines it easily maintains this rate. When we got up to 16,384
>disjoint drawn lines the frame rate dropped to 23 Hz, which is about
>the manufacturer's recommended minimum. At 32,768 disjoint drawn lines
>it dropped to about 10 Hz, which is a wee bit too much flicker.
>Performance improved to about 14 Hz when 75% of the lines were
>connected (polylines).
>
>Even though the display is monochrome, showing points and lines only,
>it is quite immersive seen in the dim light, projected on the Omnimax dome
>(the world's largest 3d display), and it is quite a lot of fun to play
>with. It can also do geometry cycling for animated objects. We would
>like to encourage more contest submissions. As an added inducement,
>anyone submitting a model will be invited to attend the Digistar User
>Group Meeting being held next September at the R. H. Fleet.
>
>If you have a model you'd like to send in but can't make the deadline,
>contact me (abs@(protected)) and we will likely be able to make special
>arrangements.
