University consortia plans 3D pipeline
An international consortia of universities are planning to install stereo 3D production pipelines on campus sites to research techniques and produce new forms of 3D content, writes Adrian Pennington.
The initiative is being led by Germany’s Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, part of the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM). The faculty has separately brought together regional German institutions to form what it believes to be the world’s only stereo 3D content research and development centre.
“We develop mainly for art, but with our partners we will research formats and pilots for 3DTV,” explained project leader Ludger Pfanz.
Other members of the international consortia include the Cinema Research Centre, New South Wales, Australia; Victory University, New Zealand; Poznan Academy of Fine Arts, Poland; the Art, Design and Media school at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Hong Kong’s City University; Tongji University in Shanghai; Universidad de Bellas Artes, Tenerife, Spain; Bucharest National Film and Theater University, Romania; Emily Carr University of Art and Design Vancouver; University of Strasbourg and German/French cable TV channel Souvenirs from Earth. There are currently no partners in the UK or US.
