3D@Home Consortium Joins With China, Japan and Korea 3D Groups to Inaugurate 3D Technology & Promotion Initiative
Oct 16, 2009
Representatives of the 3D@Home Consortium, dedicated to speeding the commercialization of 3D technology and content to the home, met today with their counterparts from the 3D Fusion Industry Consortium (3DFIC) of Korea, the 3D Research Council (3DRC), the China 3D Industry Association (C3D), and the 3D Consortium (3DC) of Japan, to discuss collaborative efforts to advance 3D technology and markets.
The discussions took place during the International 3D Fair and World 3D Expo at the KINTEX Exhibition Center in Seoul (Ilsan) Korea. Together, the groups will exchange information and tackle common issues on a regular basis through personal and virtual meetings.
Rick Dean, Chairman of the 3D@Home Consortium and Vice President of Strategic Development of THX, addressed the audience on the consortium’s focus, goals and activities at the 3D International Fair 2009 and other working events.
After his talk, Rick remarked, “This was an unprecedented event in the history of technology development. Four organizations, with over 200 member companies among them, have agreed to cooperate on bringing great 3D technology and content to the consumer.”
The principals for the groups agreed that the first project addressed will be to assess, develop guidelines and then make standards recommendations for content creation and displays that will ensure comfort for the viewer. 3D@Home Consortium’s Steering Team 1 will contribute to creating quality 3D by offering techniques to the global effort.
Levin Tang, Secretary-General of the C3D organization noted, “This is a highly- valuable relationship and we are pleased to be working with the other associations in building the 3D industry together.”
3D@Home Consortium members also spoke in the 3D Information Technology Workshop (3DIT 2009) chaired by Professor Eun-Soo Kim, director of 3DRC, president of 3DFIC and dean at Kwangwoon University. Members presenting included Ethan Daniel Schur of TDVision, Seung-Jong Choi of LG Electronics, Du-Sik Park of Samsung Electronics, Andrew Poulain of THX, Chris Chinnock of Insight Media, and Rick Dean as chair of the consortium.
Other companies presenting talks included BS11 (Nippon Broadcasting Corporation) on the 3D TV Broadcasting plans in Japan, TCL Multimedia on the China market, and Inlife-Handnet of China.
