New York's 3D Technology Revolution Begins

With interest in creating 3D content for film and digital media increasing, the latest autostereoscopic 3D display has come to the fore as a solution to both enhance the 3D experience and to complement the existing stereoscopic (glasses required) 3D medium.
However, freedom from glasses creates countless new opportunities to leverage the impact of true 3D and now, Alioscopy USA, a leading developer of 3D technology solutions, has announced that Worlds Away Productions, a full service digital, production and live event design facility based in Greenwich Village, New York, is the site of the company's first showroom on the East Coast.
Worlds Away will next month showcase Alioscopy's award-winning, state-of-the-art, 3DHD autostereoscopic (no glasses required) 3D LCD display technology and allow visitors the opportunity to view content that is well suited for applications in a variety of industries, including media and entertainment (film, video, casino gaming and advertising/digital signage), scientific, medical, architectural, and design for applications; all highlighting Alioscopy's unparalleled clarity, depth, brilliance and real-time capabilities.
"Worlds Away is energized to enter into a relationship with Alioscopy to showcase its autostereoscopic 3D LCD display technology," said Kim Lee, Director and Co-founder, Worlds Away Productions.
"Alioscopy's pioneering solution will afford us limitless possibilities to fully explore the trend in 3D, rapidly gaining momentum throughout the film, video, broadcast and digital media industries.
"We are also eager to adopt the 3DHD technology into our production pipeline and experiment with all artistic possibilities for not only creating compelling, immersive visual content without the need for glasses but for integrating and displaying content in new ways in theatre sets, live events and at point of purchase, malls, trade shows, movie theaters, museum displays, and more."
Meanwhile, Philippe Roche, Chief Executive Officer of Alioscopy USA commented: "We are delighted that Worlds Away, a facility known for pushing content creation boundaries in all areas of entertainment and design visualization, will be the first in New York City to host our 3D technology solutions.
"As interest in leveraging 3D imagery as a valid communication medium continues to skyrocket, especially in 3D film and digital media creation, our conveniently located showroom will enable a wide audience of creative professionals to see first-hand the benefits of communicating, displaying and exploring information in 3D."
He explained that Alioscopy's groundbreaking display product, the 3DHD, developed and manufactured by Alioscopy, features a highly specialized lenticular lens that boasts unmatched quality, clarity and depth resulting in a truly immersive and memorable experience for the viewer.
Alioscopy's underlying open architecture provides an end-to-end solution that allows standard video to be shown and 3D content to be developed and rendered with leading 3D software applications such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya and NewTek Lightwave 3D.
Real-time capabilities enhance the experience even further by allowing the viewer to interact with 3D content as it's displayed.
Alioscopy USA, based in San Diego, is a leading developer of a wide range of 3D technology solutions that represent one of the most significant leaps forward in autostereoscopic 3D display technology currently available
