The American Optometric Association now reports that 3D has a positive health impact on students, while advertisers are using 3D to have greater impact on consumers in the media marketplace.
In 2 short years, revenues for 3D movies have doubled. Higher 3D ticket prices worldwide have strengthened the entertainment industry’s financial result. Now, 3D content has moved from this summer’s spectacular financial success of ’Transformers 3D’, ’Harry Potter 3D’, and ’Pirates of the Caribbean 3D’, to a variety of 3D options for consumers. What are the likely new opportunities for 3D platforms and content professionals? What are the financial challenges involved in creating profitable 3D? What major 3D motion picture and 3D television titles will drive consumer excitement in the year ahead? We will discuss these and other key factors which will be critical for the success of 3D leaders worldwide.
With members in 19 countries and active committees in Japan, China, Korea, the US and the UK, the International 3D Society has been formed to advance member companies and their 3D success in the global media marketplace.
