Stereoscopic 3D | 3ality Digital Introduces Simplified Stereo 3D Production
With higher ticket prices and box office boffo, stereoscopic 3D (S3D) has succeeded in feature films, but S3D production has sputtered elsewhere, particularly when it comes to live concerts and sports -- both of which are cited as potential blockbuster content for audiences. Now, 3ality Digital is attempting to change all that with the introduction of new software technologies: IntelleCal and IntelleCam, which are part of the 3space suite of products to be launched at NAB 2011.
