Many of the presentations shown during the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications 2012 (SD&A) conference are now available online for free viewing on the conference’s website for anyone interested. So if you did not manage to visit the conference, or if you went there, but could not get to attend all presentations that you might’ve been interested in or just to get a reminder of what you’ve already seen, now is your chance to get to watch them. The 23rd annual Stereoscopic Displays and Applications (SD&A) conference was held 23-25 January 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel. The SD&A conference is held annually as part of the Electronic Imaging Symposium organized by IS&T and SPIE, the 24th annual SD&A conference will be held February 2013 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel.

There are a lot of stereo 3D topics covered in the conference, so you are very likely to find at least a few that might be of interest for you personally, it doesn’t matter if you are a stereo 3D gamer, 3D videographer, work with 3D hardware or just interested in expanding your knowledge about stereoscopic 3D technology. For example the embedded video above is for the “Stereoscopic 3D video games and their effects on engagement” presentation by Andrew Hogue from the University of Ontario Institute Of Technology.
