Mar 06, 2008 - BM news
March 6-7, 2008. Kick off meeting of the European Project 2020 3D Media: Spatial Sound and Vision, at Barcelona Media – Innovation Centre.
The main object of 2020 3D Media is the development of new technologies to support the acquisition, coding, editing, networked distribution, and display of stereoscopic and immersive audiovisual media, capable of providing novel and more compelling forms of entertainment both for home and for public grounds. The users of the resulting technologies will be both media industry professionals across the current film, TV and ‘new media’ sectors producing programme material as well as the general public.
Barcelona Media will pursue research applying its expertise in graphics, images, sound, experimental productions and evaluation of results with audiences and users. It will also be in charge of the scientific co-ordination and the administrative management for 2020 3D Media.
