The 3D Entertainment Summit is definitely is an event that denotes a change of a wonderful nature that will truly revolutionize the way we live! Since the blockbuster AVATAR burst upon the world in 2009 almost everyone knows about the impact that of the rebirth of Three Dimensional (3D) entertainment.
What few people realize is that 3D will also transform the sports, music, home entertainment, desktop, mobile computing and the educational world in a manner that few technologies have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time as eloquently described throughout the day long event by Bob Dowling (pictured below). Is everything entertainment about to go 3D? Well, from the looks of the images below and the video high-lights, the answer appears to be yes!
Education one might ask? The answer is a definite yes as you will witness for yourselves in the video below featuring an educational institution that is at the forefront of 3D at an institution of higher eduction. The video high-lights the keynote speeches by Jeffery Katzenberg of Dreamworks, Chris Cookson of Sony Pictures and a young gentleman from Indiana University who discusses the direction of 3D curricula at his university. These high-light videos from yesterdays first day of the convention document the investment of time, money and training of human resources in order to provide a reinforced foundation for the burgeoning growth of 3D entertainment.
On September 15, 2010 at 8:30 AM, the 3D Entertainment Summit not only stunned the world in general and the California South land in specific with record attendance at the opening of the landmark two day event, the attendees, vendors, and critically the presenters unveiled the latest innovations in the film industry, 3D computing, 3D home entertainment, 3D music videos, 3D sports and 3D exhibitions of live events!
Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of the convention is the rapid deployment of theatres around the world that support 3D. Once numbering only a handful of venues in a few countries, during 2011 the number of high quality 3D entertainment theatre facilities will surpass 21,000 in virtually every market area where consumers are demanding more 3D! What the fans are demanding is not only cinematic blockbusters, but music videos, sports and live exhibitions. During the events at the convention September 15, 2010 I was astounded by the outstanding quality of such entertainment during the convention where many promotional trailers covering the entire world of 3D where shown to the guests in attendance.
The list of providers of 3D equipment available now for home entertainment enthusiasts includes the likes of Sony, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, JVC, Hyundai and many others like hardware producers such as NVidia. Of great interest is a leading 3D computing technology provider is 3DeeCentral where you will in a few short months (before the holiday season) be able to purchase not only 3D enabled computers and mobile devices to watch 3D movies, the entire world of applications in 3D for music videos, sports, artwork, and exhibitio
ns is coming to your very palms in mobile devices such as the iPho
ne, iPad, Windows and DROID family of smart phones!
What is at the heart of the technology that is helping to drive the 3D revolution. It is industry tech leaders including the likes of RealD and Dolby Labs teams working on the latest films upcoming films including Toy Story 3, Narnia and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and TRON Legacy!
