3D@Home Consortium Announced Products for 3D Industry Professionals
Nov 17, 2009
Creates Common Glossary and Visual Aides to Assist Industry Communication and Cooperation
The 3D@Home Consortium, dedicated to speeding the advancement of 3D technology into the home, announced today the release of two documents, ST4-01 3D Glossary and ST4-02 3D Technology Family Tree Poster. Each of these documents represents the first efforts of their kind in defining and documenting emerging technologies that enable 3D to the home. The two documents are geared toward industry professionals and are the work-product of the consortium’s Steering Team 4 (ST4), tasked with identifying issues around 3D displays and associated hardware and lead by Chris Chinnock of Insight Media. The 3D@Home Consortium is making these documents available to 3D industry professionals to provide a common framework for communication and facilitate industry advancement
The terms included in the 3D Glossary represent a comprehensive listing of the terminology used in the technology and business of 3D. Chinnock notes, “The document provides more up-to-date and accurate definitions than any other source since it was developed from inputs provided by 3D@Home members who represent all aspects of the 3D supply chain from content creation to display.” Industry professionals will find the 3D Glossary an authoritative and useful reference tool in communicating regarding technical issues and products. The glossary is available via the consortium’s website.
The 3D Technology Family Tree poster is a graphical representation of the relationships between 3D display technologies and the eyewear needed, if any. The poster was originally released as an insert to the Motion Imaging Journal of the Society for Motion Pictures and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and is also now available for purchase via the internet. “The 3D Technology Family Tree poster is a ‘must have’ on the office wall of the stereoscopic industry professional and those looking to explore the field,” notes Ethan Schur, co-chair of the consortium’s promotion team and vice president at TDVision.
