Horizon Sag Compensation

John D. Hayes

The combination of the curved screen used by several present-day motion-picture processes, the high angle of projection of many theaters and the low angle of view from the auditorium of these theaters to the screen results in a motion-picture presentation exhibiting a phenomenon termed “horizon sag.” An optical projection system has been designed to eliminate, or significantly reduce, the horizon sag as observed from the auditorium of the theater.
