Designed on display polyester and polyester voile, the system fuses Sunbaba's tension fabric frame with LED colour-changing light battens, to stunning effect.
Unveiled at the Showman's Show, where it won the company the Best Stand award, the initiative captivated all-comers, bringing stereoscopics to a waterfall scene without any need for 3D glasses.
Trevor Booth, technical director at Sunbaba, comments, "We hung one of our mesh fabrics in front of the same image on a solid fabric, both finished with a special silicone keder. We have tried a number of variations over the years, but this is the first time we have been able to combine the two graphics in a single frame."
Booth achieved the breakthrough by adapting software designed to create 3D images on rigid lenticular materials, putting the front picture on the voile, enhancing some elements of the image while others were made more transparent, generating a depth of field and a 3D effect, strengthened by the lighting battens. And it's versatile. Clients can easily change the fabric graphics and slot them into the profile, around the outer edge of the frame.
