Middle East prepares for 3D education and training
- Text size
Cutting edge technology in focus at Palme Expo as digital 3D moves beyond the movie domain and into sports events, TV broadcasting, education and training
The Gulf's universities, education and training organisations are currently examining the latest 3D movie technology to add another dimension to their educational courses and training seminars.
The new generation of 3D digital film technology and projection can be viewed with stylish, disposable glasses, which are far cheaper than were needed in the past to watch 3D movies.
"That means it's open to a far wider range of users and the whole technology has become more affordable," said Simon Smith, Sales Director of Christie, a global leader in the manufacture of visual solutions.
"In addition, the new 3D technology has been tested by broadcasting operations. Last year, the BBC transmitted a live test transmission of an international rugby match to a selected audience of 300 at a theatre in London with Christie technology," he added.
"We're very excited to have the opportunity to offer the visitors a chance to experience the advances and performances that 3D technology has to offer."
Christie, whose customers in Dubai include the Emirates Group and Dubailand, is to introduce its latest 3D Digital Cinema projector at the Install Systems Integration Middle East Expo 2009, to be held on April 26-28 at the Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Centre. Christie Brilliant3D™
technology, which significantly boosts projector performance and image brightness¸ will also be demonstrated on its digital cinema projector range.
