Comment Murch is at least partly right (Score 1) 436
Murch is right in his analysis of the problem, and that's why the stereoscopic process in use now so closely resembles what you see in a ViewMaster, but does not look like what your eyes see in real life. Whether he's right about a possible solution with holography remains to be seen. It may yield a workable solution for a small audience, but it may also be unworkable in even today's small cinema spaces.
The industry has already learned the reality of Murch's analysis; I've attended engineering presentations on the problems, and the issues which are presented by attempting to cheat the eye on a single focal plane. One thing holography would fix is the problem of people getting sick when an inexperienced -- or foolish -- director tries to force the effect too far.
