Last weekend I set off to cover some high tech business in Jackson. As it turns out the highest resolution projector in the world is being developed right here by Alces Technology. To get some perspective, take a look at a high definition TV. Now move close to it and check out the detail. Multiply that detail by 4. Yup, these things can put out a mind-blowing amount of detail. Wondering, 'where can I get one of these?' Well, they are not up for consumer purchase... yet. They aim for a consumer product in a few years. You will have to go to a planetarium or IMAX theater to experience one of these machines.
These guys don't mess around. Literally. To work on the chips, you must put on a full body suit with a hair net and booties then step into a 'clean room'. Chris DeMarco (pictured here), and I went into the facility for a photo shoot. Shooting photos while feeling like you are in the twilight zone is quite the experience. Working with these guys was a blast. They were all about taking photos and got into it, constantly joking around and having fun. Boy, it's nice to be with people who actually like their jobs and are doing some amazing things at the same time.
