TUNNEL VISION VIDEO DISPLAY SYSTEM ABSTRACT A video display system that provides a low cost means by which a high volume of participants may be processed through an interactive video system in an rapidmanner. The system is comprised of a darkened serpentine tunnel constructed of flat faceted rear projectors screens, formed as a series of multi-screen sections. Video imagery is projected onto the screens from video projectors using reflecting mirrors disposed on the back side of the screens. The screen sections are mated together to form the complete tunnel. Participants traverse through the darkened tunnel riding in vehicles that are guided in a manner analogous to automobiles processed through a car wash or a factory assembly line. As each vehicle progresses down the tunnel, theprojection screens currently surrounding the vehicle are illuminated, together with the preceding and succeeding screen sections. As the vehicle transitions from the current section to the forward section, the rearward section is extinguished and the next forward section is illuminated. The image intensity of the forward section is gradually increased as the vehicle approaches, by virtue of the gain characteristics of the projec- don screens, thus making the transition nearly undetectable. The video display system thus provides the means by which an operator of an amusement park ride or training system may quickly and efficiently process a large number of participants through them. The video display system allows an interactive video system designer to break up participant batch size into much smaller groups, thus minimizing intergroup waiting time and greatly increasing throughput.
