Just wondering if anyone has tried to project from behind and what kind of results there is ,, I was looking at my cloth that I have (did nt go with blackout for temp this time) and was looking from behind and it looked pretty good , might be able to change angle or hide pj better.. I havent really moved it around to try but wondering if anybody here has did this ,i know they do this with commercial pjs ..

Rear Projection Success (Hall of Fame)

Rear Projection Using The Lumenlab Factory-made Projector, 60" RP setup, Now completed!

Thanks ,, I remember looking at that now ,, when I first joined , just forgot about it,, I am forgetting what I looked at in here now , oh well just start from the beginnig again I guess ..

OK, here's an addition to the question that I haven't seen (tried searching, but never found any reference).

Has anybody tried projecting from behind in an open system?

What I mean is, not in an RPTV type setup, but just an open room on the other side of where you want to watch the screen from. I figure if you're tight on space (say, living in a small efficiency where two rooms are almost one save for an archway in the center where the screen would go perfectly, but the room you want to watch from is so crowed with your living room stuff that if you put the projector in there you'd have to rearrange the entire room so that nothing would block the light path coming out of the projector)

Would it be possible to set up something like this or is the enclosed RPTV type setup necessary for any sort of rear projection?

oddly I thought about doing something similar at one point.... I have a odd shaped house, almost like a trailer lol it is just one room after another after another.... a big long two story rectangle. Anyway what I was thinking about doing was mounting the projector in one room and pointingt it at a wall that happens to be between the two rooms... but using something like a shower curtain or pull down shade as the screen. but where the screen is is a hole in the wall the same size and shape.... so when projected the projection could be viewed from both sides

But since our projectors are not high enough in lumens, the size of them, and I dont want a commercial projector... that absolutely knocked the plans off completely
