The Conference


This page provides snapshots of a few moments at the 2004 Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference.

Keynote

This year's keynote was presented by Dave Cook from nVIDIA Corporation. Dave's presentation was titled "Stereoscopic Gaming: Technology and Applications". More information about his presentation is available in the conference proceedings introduction.

   
Pictured here are (left photograph: left to right) John Merritt, Dave Cook and Andrew Woods, and (right photograph) audience members come up close to experience the large screen stereoscopic gaming experience.


This panorama was taken during Dave Cook's presentation. Dave's presentation was richly illustrated with many stereoscopic examples. [Dave is the blur in front of the screen].

Discussion Forum


This year's discussion forum had the topic "3D & 4D Attractions: The New Stereoscopic Cinema". Pictured (from left) are the panelists Chris Ward, Samuel Zhou, Lenny Lipton, Jason Goodman, and Max Penner. More information about the panel is available in the discussion forum summary.

Equipment

   
The ability to present high-quality large-screen stereoscopic images and video at the conference is an extremely important part of the conference. Many people and companies contributed hardware, software, and expertise to again make this a truly impressive show.
A particular thank you goes to Brad Nelson of Nelsonex, Spectrum Audiovisual, Chris Ward and Dan Lawrence of LightSpeed Design Group, John Miller of Dep3D, Jason Goodman of 21st Century 3D, and Yuji NOJIRI and Makoto OKUI from NHK Science and Technical Research Labs.
