FINAL Call for Seminar Instructors
Abstract deadline: December 7th

Insight Media and InfoComm International are teaming up to produce a new 3D event called 3D Comm. 3D Comm will be held during the regular exhibition hours at the world’s largest professional AV trade show, InfoComm 2010, running from June 9-11, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

3D-Comm will consist of three elements:

• 3D Technology Pavilion
• 3D Technology Showcase
• 3D Technology Seminars

Insight Media is seeking qualified instructors to teach a number of 60-90 minute seminars on various aspects of 3D at 3D-Comm.

The 3D Technology Seminars will be run outside the exhibition floor in a classroom setting. These 60-90 minute sessions will focus on providing unbiased information on many aspects of the 3D ecosystem, helping attendees gain critical knowledge about technology, markets, applications and uses of 3D. These will be taught by 3D experts and will be offered in a range of levels. The deadline for abstract submissions is December 7th . Please act NOW if you plan to submit an abstract for consideration.

Experts in their 3D specialty are encouraged to submit an abstract or talk to conference organizers about this opportunity. Seminar topics can be at various levels, but must be geared toward the needs of the ProAV community (dealers, designers, VARS, manufacturers and end users of audio-video equipment and services in education, rental and staging, broadcast, post-production, simulation, visualization, corporate, medical, home theater and more). Seminars need to be educational, not promotional in nature.

3D projection systems will be provided in each classroom and hands-on, practical knowledge is clearly valued by this audience.

Some of the preliminary topics for the 3D Technology Seminars are detailed below, but 3D experts are encouraged to submit other topic areas that would be relevant and interesting to InfoComm attendees.

o 3D Content is Coming - High Quality Offline Conversion Methods and Prospects
o Creating 3D Content is Tricky - Tips, Guidelines and Stories from an Industry Expert
o Real-time 2D-to-3D Conversion Techniques and Status

o Using 3D in ProAV: When, Where and Why
o Successful 3D Display Set Up
o Mixing 2D and 3D Content

o 3D in Visualization/Simulation
o 3D for Exhibitionso
o 3D Signage Markets
o 3D in Cinema
o 3D in Home Theater
o 3D in Broadcast & Distribution

In addition, there will be demonstrations of many aspects of the 3D eco-system in two complementary elements of the event.

The 3D Technology Pavilion includes dedicated exhibit space in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s North Hall, which will showcase a cluster of 3D exhibits and demonstrations. This will create a destination area for those interested in 3D products and services. Exhibitors of 3D content acquisition hardware and software, content management, compression and distribution of 3D display systems and other aspects of consumer and professional 3D can exhibit in this area.

The 3D Technology Showcase is a purpose-built area adjacent to the 3D Technology Pavilion area that will be used for themed, new, unique or special purpose 3D demonstrations. Those with a novel approach are encouraged to propose their ideas. Examples of concepts include a 3D classroom, a comparison of 3D technologies, a 3D public venue simulation or a 3D home theater.

To be considered to deliver a 3D Technology Seminar and/or participate in the 3D Technology Showcase or 3D Technology Pavilion, contact Dian Mecca at 203.831.8464 or at dian@insightmedia.info.
