Target Screensize for Stereoscopic Feature Film

For stereoscopic pictures the geometric dimension on set and the geometric situation at the screening interact with each other. The combination of both produces the final depth perception at the observer. The screen size is believed to be a central variable in the process of creating a stereoscopic picture. The information of the screen size must be known during shooting. But different screen sizes at different theaters raise the question: What is the target screen size for stereoscopic feature film? This paper tries to examine this question.
