*Stereoscopic 3D: A Creative Summit *
Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th March, 2013
The British Film Institute,
South Bank,
London

Ravensbourne (www.rave.ac.uk) and the i3DS Society (
http://tinyurl.com/crfcmbq), have great pleasure in calling for papers for
the third international conference on stereoscopic film and television.
*Extended Deadline for abstracts: Monday 11th February, 2013***
On June 21 1838 the Royal Society published Charles Wheatstone’s paper on
3D Stereoscopy, *Contributions to the Physiology of Vision*. The eminent
Professor of Experimental Philosophy at Kings College, London laid out
principles of stereoscopy and later invented the stereoscope. The
stereoscopic technique has therefore existed for over 150 years, but what
level of maturity has it reached?
The aim of the overall annual conference is to draw together industry and
academia to debate and demonstrate what the nature of high quality
stereoscopic television and film is. The conference also aims to promote
discussion around the development of international standards, something of
high interest to industry. The last two conferences have drawn over 400
international delegates.
As researchers, however, we deepen the debate to ask, in a dedicated
section of the conference…
· Can 3DS be considered to have reached maturity? Who decides what
creative or technical ‘maturity’ means?
· What is the possibility of setting worldwide technical standards and
creative guidelines for stereoscopic film, television and other related
content?
· It could be argued that the releasing of 2D to 3D conversions is
having a degenerative effect on the maturation of the craft of stereoscopic
3DS. The need to generate revenue through ‘brand 3D’ may be altering the
perception of 3DS from audience perspectives. Should we therefore now
define what is and what is not ‘true’ stereoscopy?
· What is next after the commodification of 3DS, for example 4K 3DS?
We will be accepting around 15 papers or presentations on the topics above,
which can include investigations into stereoscopic animation or gaming if
the study contributes to the conference theme. However ALL acceptable
research from practitioners interested in stereoscopic 3D can have a place
through the exhibition of a poster outlining your work. Attendees will also
be able to contribute to a workshop, which will map research being
generated in this field, worldwide.
Papers, posters, or expressions of interest in mapping 3DS Research should
be sent in the form of *500 word abstracts *to [log in to unmask] by
*Monday 11th February 2013*. Please also state your name, affiliation, and
provide a one-paragraph biography. *Accepted papers/presentations will
receive a conference fee waiver.*

We have had an expression of interest from a quality UK-based academic
publisher to produce an edited collection on the topic of the conference.
We will therefore be particularly interested in receiving papers which can
be extended. Preference will be given to those which include analyses of
data, deconstructions of prototypes and processes, production and/or
audience studies, or interviews with producers.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Happy Christmas!
