Guido Voltolina, Chief Operations Officer for XPAND 3D, will deliver a company presentation and participate in a discussion panel at the 7thAnnual SID/Cowen 2011 Display Investors Conference on May 17 in Los Angeles. The Conference will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center and is part of Display Week 2011, the Society for Information Display’s 49th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition.
The panel discussion is titled, “The Next Wave of 3D—to the Cinema and Beyond,” and will be moderated by Paul Semenza, Senior VP of DisplaySearch.
“3D is now an established ‘golden egg’ for the investor community—the doubt over 3D’s staying power is gone,” Voltolina said. “Now it’s just a matter of how fast 3D will grow as it penetrates different markets.”
These different markets, Voltolina explained, go well beyond the core 3D applications of cinema and home entertainment. “In the past, 3D was considered to be a strictly movie experience, in the cinema and later the home,” Voltolina continued. “While those areas still represent the majority of 3D usage, we’re learning that 3D is valuable in so many other applications, such as education, business presentations, and consumer-generated content.”
In late March, XPAND and Panasonic announced the formation of M-3DI, a new standard for 3D active-shutter eyewear products that will bring about compatibility among 3D TVs, computers, home projectors and cinema projection.
“The M-3DI standard allows for a bridge between televisions, laptops and projectors for businesses and the home,” Voltolina noted. “So the 3D experience is no longer fragmented. 3D glasses are now items of personal expression that allow users to watch 3D without having to worry about the type of screen they are watching it on.”
