With 3D technology taking hold in cinemas and the promise of home delivery mechanisms on the horizon, the growing amount of 3D content hints that 3D is back for good. Or is it? Leaders in 3D industry technology will explore the impact of 3D technology and content, how it has revolutionized the marketplace, and what the future holds.

Presentation: 3D Theory, a Primer and Demonstration
Whether you are shooting with two cameras screwed to a 2X4 or are using an automated, self-adjusting motorized camera rig, the camera operator in both scenarios must understand the basic theory of 3D. This presentation will provide a crash-course on 3D theory, illustrate the differences between parallel and convergence systems, and explore the concept of how 3D is perceived with each.
