MUSCADE researcher Hans Hoffmann of EBU organised a NAB/SMPTE session on "3D 10 Years Hence: 20/20 in 2020?" during the NAB 2010 Digital Cinema Summit. Tibor Balogh of Holografika and Aljoscha Smolic of Disney Research Zurich were among the speakers. The session looked at questions such as: "What does the time-line look like for the migration from special purpose glasses to inexpensive (almost disposable) glasses to glassless technologies? What technical or standards barriers need to be overcome to ensure consumer acceptance and the start of significant sales?" The event let us introduce our results to US professionals, who were also interested in our plans and ongoing work in MUSCADE that go far beyond the state of the art in 3D capture, transmission and display.
