*Stereoscopic 3D: A Creative Summit *
Thursday 28th and Friday 29th March, 2013

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.
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 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 aims to promote discussion around
the development of international standards, something of high interest to
industry. 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 abstracts to [log in to unmask] by
*Monday 4thFebruary 2013
*. Please also state your name, affiliation, and provide a one – paragraph
biography and photograph.
If sufficient quality papers are generated by the conference, we may
organise the publication of a subsequent edited collection.
