This year, more than ever, Dimension 3 is the must-attend event for all those looking for insight into the future of images…

Dimension 3 is becoming Europe’s most important international event on stereoscopic 3D and new images (the 2010 edition was attended by over 3,500 professionals from some forty countries). A place for exchanges, synergies and experiences, the Forum gathers professional communities from all horizons: designers, producers, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, broadcasters as well as researchers and international content creators all come together to share their experiences and consider future development strategies in the field of new images.

The 2011 edition will more specifically focus on the perspectives and production tools for a number of markets: cinema, television, video games, communication, telecoms, and applied visualization techniques (industry, medicine, security…).

As 2010 was the year where S3D took off in the industrial field, Dimension 3 2011 will offer a European place to reflect on the future of images through:  several series of conferences (Issues tackled include uses and professions, applications, augmented reality…), keynotes (with international experts talking about their experiences or analyses on the market of new images), an overview of the latest solutions for the image production chain, from filming to screening, through Dimension 3 expo, a number of professional workshops, a shooting zone (where S3D cameras are showcased).

3Discovery, a new area dedicated to prosumers, will present a wide range of applications in context (including tomorrow’s boutique and tomorrow’s classroom, that show how images can be used in immersive and interactive applications). 3Discovery will also open its doors to young talents, with the Young Talents’Wall (a platform where graduates can meet employers), a “Cluster” area dedicated to the region’s creative industries…

Also an international showcase for S3D contents and new images, the Forum has been offering since last year an international competition, Dimension 3 Festival, dedicated to S3D contents in all their incredible diversity (60 films from all 5 continents in 2010), with a dedicated area on 3Discovery for projections of the initial selection of films: “Dimension 3 reaffirms its ambition to offer a networking platform, by gathering together professionals who offer new tools, products or services and those who are looking for solutions or new practices in the field of images, from creation to visualization. Efforts should be made to avoid trivialization and give creation a prestigious image: content creators must be given a prominent place within this area”, explains Stephan Faudeux, the Forum’s general manager, discussing the Festival.
