The Display Table

From the time the DR-37P HDR display was acquired until 2009.10.28 the display was mounted onto a regular ICICS-issue table with 4 bolts through 4 pre-drilled holes in the table. This was a pretty good solution, except that sharp movements could easily cause the display to sway, possibly causing stress on the display base, like trying to balance a baseball bat standing up on a table using only your hand to hold down the base.

For the experiments in the "Video Viewing Preferences..." paper [Rempel, et al., APGV '09], Dolby arranged to have constructed a wooden enclosure for the DR-37P, lined with acoustic foam, to reduce the fan noise from the display. In 2009, Dolby decided that they didn't want the enclosure anymore and donated it to UBC. Allan moved it to UBC, and on 2009.10.28 moved the display into it. It is of suitable size to fit into the experiment rooms...
