I have a past post explaining the film choices here.

As I recall the Da-Lite Holo Screen material was the best quality and most transparent. It was very expensive though. We ended up using a non-optical frosted film. It works okay for our situations and designs but it is not a great solution for everyone. The Kimoto film listed in the post was also very good quality and bright, not transparent but it was translucent.

Good luck

I know this is unrelated to your above piece but I read about your troubles finding a film for your glass installation. We are at present having the same problem. We are looking for a film to coat a pane of glass onto which text is being back projected in a darkened area. We have found a vikuiti film but this is black and we need a transparent film. I was wondering what film you used for your glass in the end?

Best,

The first version of the Dialog Table was designed and built by the team that formed Kinecity. That version was shown in the Strangely Familiar exhibition.

The version that is up now is a joint project of the original team and the Walker Art Center (New Media department and Education Department). I worked on the visual design and interface concept with the original team, our media department shot the video and our education department wrote the content. So it was quite a collaborative process, like usually happens on big projects trying new things. It is happily still up and running today as well as it did during the launch (minus one new projector).
