A Wider Net

Many years ago a previous employer of mine used to send out a “3D demo in a box” to it’s customer and prospects. It contained a 3D stereo slide viewer and a pair of slides for each image. The effect was startling. We were producing corporate theater, special events, and permanent installations that featured lasers, large video screens, pyrotechnics, wild environments, and other special effects. This was the first time we could remotely convey what our shows and installations looked like. The slide viewers were effective partially because of the stereoscopic 3D images, and partially because they were backlit, producing far more vibrant images than print pieces.

Step into the 21st century with VuCAM - a wild new product from StereoVision Imaging. This set of high-tech binoculars captures and displays 3D images all by itself. It can export those images to 3D displays and CAD systems. It can even make 3D images that you can view with those red/blue paper glasses. This seems like a natural solution for meeting planners looking to conduct site visits and share their experience with colleagues and/or customers. It also makes a novel way to capture attendees experiences at an event. One thing I’m not sure about it whether the pictures can be made into the ultimate 3D technology - Viewmaster reels. They’re coming to Innovation Day, along with a 3D screen from Philips that might be able to display them in 3D without glasses, so I will be sure to ask and let you know.
