Stereoscopic Displays And Applications XXI: January 18-20, 2010 - San Jose

Jim here. Thought I would drop the good word for my friend Andrew Woods over at SD&A - their annual conference is upon us once again!

This time around, Pixar is the keynote: Bob Whitehill, Stereoscopic Supervisor at Pixar will be addressing the crowd with his "Three Dimensional Storytelling". Using examples from "Up", "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2", Whitehill will discuss the use of 3D as a visual storytelling device in Pixar's films. The Keynote presentation takes place at 4pm on the first day of the SD&A conference - Monday, January 18, 2010.

The advance program for the 21st annual Stereoscopic Displays and Applications (SD&A) conference is now available on the conference website: http://www.stereoscopic.org/2010/program.html. The program includes 66 technical papers, and a number of special events including the hugely popular 3D Theatre, two discussion forums, the demonstration session, a 21st birthday dinner, keynote presentation, and the 3D gaming experience.

SD&A runs from January 18-20, 2010 as part of the IS&T/SPIE Electronic Imaging Symposium in San Jose, California. Nineteen other imaging conferences, including two other 3D related conferences, share the symposium, providing good synergy across the imaging community. Colleagues who are new to stereoscopic imaging should consider attending the short course on "Stereoscopic Display Application Issues" on Sunday, January 17. http://www.stereoscopic.org/sc
