3Space Spherical Technology – Richard Taylor

Richard Taylor will introduce us to 3Space Spherical Technology and it’s myriad of applications. One such format is the 3Space Spherical Theatre; a totally immersive photo-real dimensional world that completely surrounds the audience. Whether one looks up down left or right they will see imagery from 3ft to infinity. Within this venue dimensional life size reproductions of famous humans can entertain us. Yes, one could see a performance by Elvis or Sinatra. A second format is the 3Space Simulator; the next form of gaming and home entertainment where one can play interactively with 4k, 48fps 3D imagery. The final tool in this technology is the design of a 3Space Spherical Stereo Camera System capable of shooting any live action venue. The future of entertainment is here.
