3D@Home Consortium Prospectus Released

Insight Media and USDC are pleased to announce the formation of the 3D@Home Consortium and the release of the 3D@Home Consortium Prospectus. Applications for membership are now being accepted.

The 3D@Home Consortium will hold a Consortium formation meeting during NAB. Date and meeting location TBD. This meeting will be used to unveil the first members of the Consortium, to distribute information about the Consortium and to answer questions about membership, goals and objectives. And, if you join the 3D@Home Consortium prior to April 11th, we will include your company as a Founding member in the press announcement issued at the formation meeting.

The 3D@Home Consortium's mission is to speed the commercialization of 3D into homes worldwide and provide the best possible viewing experience by facilitating the development of standards, roadmaps and education for the entire 3D industry - from content, hardware and software providers to consumers. Steering Teams will drive the agenda of the Consortium. The potential members and the Steering Committee have focused on these initial Steering Teams:

          ST1 - 3D Content Creation/Production
          ST2 - 3D Content Storage/Transmission/Distribution
          ST3 - 3D Promotion
          ST4 - 3D Displays

The following 3D@Home Consortium Steering Committee members have reviewed this Prospectus and find the mission, goals and organization of the 3D@Home Consortium to be appropriate and worthy of consideration.
