IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) is a global yearly trade show for professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of broadcasting media and entertainment. The event consists of an exhibition and conference parts that encompass the very latest developments in broadcasting, mobile TV, IPTV, digital signage and R&D making it essential for everyone’s understanding of the industry and its future. And the future seems to be in 3D, so this year’s IBC2011 will have a lot of offer to people interested in stereoscopic 3D products and solutions. IBC2011 takes place at the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre from 8 – 13 September (Netherlands, Europe) with the conference part starting a day early than the exhibition part of the event. So it is almost about time for the event to start, with expected over 1300 exhibiting companies and about 50000 attendees.

The 3D@Home Consortium’s 3D User Experience Technical Summit (3D-UETS) and International 3D Fair is scheduled for September 22-23, 2011 at the Hollywood & Highland Center, Hollywood, California (USA) in conjunction with the 3D Entertainment Summit. The event is tailored to 3D professionals who seek to understand the physiological impact of 3D and how to take that into account when creating 3D for the large or small screen. The conference is intended to be rich with networking opportunities including an industry awards luncheon, and a tour, dinner and networking event at the Sony 3D Technology Center & Sony Pictures Lot.

3D@Home Consortium has been exploring the topic of defining a great 3D User Experience for the past year through ongoing meetings of its members and quarterly workshops. The 3D-UETS is the next in these workshops designed to share information and knowledge with other groups in the 3D eco-system, including: the vision health community, the vision research academic community, and now, the 3D creation and distribution communities. During 3D-UETS, the user experience will be examined from several perspectives, including, signal compression and distribution; specific screen sizes and displays; measurements already conducted; what areas need additional study; the impact of differences in binocular vision; and, how the experience is manipulated and evaluated in post-production.
