The 3D@Home Consortium, a not-for-profit membership organization
formed to accelerate the adoption of 3D into homes worldwide,
today announced 3DUniversity.net, a website designed to give
consumers information about 3D HDTV, monitors, Blu-ray players,
cell phones, cameras and camcorders and related eyewear, 3D
content sources, as well as a database of 3D movies and special
events.
The website has consumer-friendly information on how and why it
works, history of 3D, as well as more details on topics such as
how to best set up a 3D home theatre.
A key role for the site is to debunk many of the myths
circulating around 3D and give a glimpse into the future of home
3D entertainment, the 3D@Home Consortium said. Information on
the site was developed with input from all members in the
consortium as well as a large group of 3D academics and
stereoscopic scientists. Members of 3D@Home include, filmmakers,
movie studios, cable and satellite operators, consumer
electronics manufacturers, academic institutions, consumer and
professional research organizations.
"3DUniversity.net takes a wide view of the 3D industry. Starting
with how a 3D film or program is made to how it is best
displayed," notes Dan Schinasi, chair of Steering Team 3 (ST3) 3D
Promotion, Education and Communication for 3D@Home and product
planner for Samsung Electronics of America. "Studies show that
consumers have many questions about 3D, ranging from what they
can watch to how they connect it. We wanted to provide
information to them in a friendly and easy-to-grasp manner,
taking advantage of the 24/7 availability and easily-updateable
nature of the internet."
"A critical part of our mission is to educate both professionals
and consumers on 3D and how it is made, distributed and
displayed," adds Heidi Hoffman, managing director of 3D@Home
Consortium. "3DUniversity.net is one of our first efforts to
provide information directly to the consumer. The site will
continue to grow with 3D products and 3D movie listings, and an
opportunity to opt-in to 3D industry updates. We have made it
easy to find listings of 3D movies for the home, 3D theater
releases and special events in 3D are conveniently located in one
place on 3DUniversity.net." |
