Light is an important factor in order to achieve a beautiful projection. Too much light will have a negative effect on the contrast and colors of a projection. It is therefore important to take into consideration which other light sources are near the buildings while choosing the area for projection. If there are some adjacent buildings that have lots of lights it is sometimes possible to cooperate and arrange for the lights to be switched off during a projection. In some areas it is necessary to switch off the community lights, cooperation from the local governments can be of great help. The surrounding lights determine how many projectors are needed for the actual projection as well as the light intensity.

A minimum distance of 35 to 40 meters is required between the building and the projector in order to get optimal results. Naturally this distance needs to be free from any obstacles such as trees, lamp poles, tram lines etc.

Using FSI Viewer you can present high resolution images of 10,000 by 10,000 pixel and above on-line requiring low bandwidth only enabling the user to freely zoom, pan and rotate the image. FSI Viewer requests image data from Single Source Imaging Servers capable of serving images and image sections in different dimensions and formats on-demand based on a single high resolution source image.
Therefore authoring of FSI Viewer requires passing the path to the source image only and does not require any manual image preparation or authoring software.

The way FSI Viewer retrieves images ensures perfect caching of image data. Providing source images showing an object from different viewing angles even allows you to create virtual 3D presentations. As FSI Viewer is based on Adobe Flash Player your visitors can instantly use FSI Viewer without the need to setup a browser plug-in.
