Introduction to Stereovision and 3D Human Factors - Basic
8:00 AM, OCCC Room W414C
Human vision forms the basis for stereoscopic displays, but these electronic 3D displays do not accurately replicate the way we see. This course provides an overview of the basics on human stereovision, how we perceive depth, how electronic displays differ, and the causes of ill effects from bad 3D.   Topics covered include 3D history, one-eye depth cues and two-eye depth cues, parallax, convergence and content creation issues that can impact human well being. This includes differences in the left and right eye images, content creation styles, health and safety issues, effects on children and effects from viewing position.   Attendees will gain an understanding of the complexities of the 3D experience. Course includes 3D demonstrations.
Presenter: Chris Chinnock, Insight Media

System Integration for Autostereoscopic Display Solutions - Basic
8:00 AM, OCCC Room W414D

Advanced Auto-viewable (glasses-free) Three-dimensional Displays - Intermediate
10:30 AM, OCCC Room W414D
Holographic displays promise to provide an extremely rich visual experience, with life-like images that occupy space and appear different from every perspective. But when will they be ready? How will they be used? What will these images look like? Recent developments of holographic technology and their related "light field" displays are now becoming commercial reality -- with implications for content creation and distribution, as well as user experience, interaction modalities and computation infrastructure. This seminar will survey the origins of the technology and recent developments, classify the different approaches in terms of strengths and weaknesses, and also present a timeline for integration into a wide range of applications -- from military (already in use) to medical, simulation, training, education, games, telepresence, "pubs & clubs", arenas, and finally home entertainment (still years away). Included will be explanations of how these displays generate images that possess all of the visual depth cues our eyes and brains use to quickly and accurately understand and appreciate information -- and help address the question of where and why this astounding technology is finding its first cost-effective applications, and how it may impact the very nature of how humans interact with visual information.
Presenter: Mark Lucente, Zebra Imaging

Understanding Autostereoscopic Content Sourcing and Creation - Intermediate
2:30 PM, OCCC Room W414D
Creation of autostereoscopic (multi-view) content is quite different from 2D content creation. Bad 3D content can have adverse effects on the viewer. It is therefore vitally important to understand what causes these effects and to properly manage the acquisition and sourcing of the content.   Course will describe the key factors in 3D content acquisition such as the differences between 2D and 3D cameras, how camera control and acquisition is different and conversion of 2D and 3D content to multi-view content. Course will also focus on easy ways to create multi-view content, ways to source it and how to control quality and cost. Attendees will gain a good understanding of the key issues involved in the creation of quality autostereoscopic multi-view 3D content. Course includes autostereoscopic 3D demonstrations.
