Some highlights

Some things I've taken away from this conference:

- I need to put more thought into stereoscopic filming and film, rather than focus on content developed in 3D modelling packages
- the work going on at Northumbria University is bang in line with what I'm hoping to get involved with in with our own Built Environment staff
- the stereoscopic front projection system in the lecture theatre worked very well

So what will be your presentation on at this conference next year?! :-)
It sounds like there's a lot going on in the UK. One of the questions for us is perhaps developing an understanding of how wide the application of this technology may be across our subject areas? The obvious applications do seem to be in health, built environment and engineering.
Is anyone connecting 3D Virtuals Worlds with this technology yet? When we do that we can start to consider social simulations as much as those that represent interaction with specific objects.
The stereoscopic film stuff sounded interesting. What hardware is required to generate stereoscopic films?

Andrew, did you attend the conference? Your name was not listed on the attendee list. My name is Julian Ford from Virtalis. Many of the speakers at the conference are customers of ours. Perhaps we can advise you with regard to suitable hardware and solutions for stereoscopic film production and VR in general? Please feel free to contact me, j.ford@virtalis.com or call me on +44 7887 645523. Thanks. Regards Julian
