“Can a Better Screen Finally Produce a 3-D Tablet Worth Buying?”

This week we were up in my old stomping ground of San Francisco.  The City looks great, by the way, completely booming.

Special thanks to our amazing PR team, Concept PR.  It seems that some tech journalists and bloggers are still on the fence about 3D smartphones as the US has yet to see a breakthrough hit.  We showed off our 3D Tablet to communicate this is a fantastic device to start media consumers viewing and interacting with Stereo 3D on a daily basis.  Not only Hollywood movies, but games, animated pop-up books, comics, programming… and, of course, dual lens camera for home 3D videos.  Here is some of the early reactions, and we expect more to come.

The Avengers: #fightflat and See It in 3D?

The early reviews of The Avengers are incredible.  We know that it is a 3D conversion but Joss Whedon promised us the 3D would be great.  What’s the early word on the street?

Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy: “not only does this eye-popping 3D display of visual effects fireworks feature an enormously high proportion of action scenes, but director Joss Whedon has adroitly balanced the celebrity circus to give every single one of the superstar characters his or her due. Worldwide box-office returns will be, in a word, Marvelous.

The Stage is Set for Mobile 3D

3D is coming soon to a mobile device near you.  Consumers, manufacturers and wireless carriers are in position for a big US debut but the star of the show — 3D content — is still en route to the theater.   Mark Lubow, Founder and President of 423 Digital, Inc., an entertainment technology company that licenses and distributes short-form 3D content for autostereoscopic (eyewear-free) mobile 3D devices, recently gave Mobile Thinkers an overview of 3D smartphones and explained how 423 Digital is stepping in to make 3D content readily available.

High Frame Rate (HFR) 3D Takes Center Stage at CinemaCon

We’re live at CinemaCon! This year, the hot topic without question has been High Frame Rate (HFR) 3D. On Monday, exhibitors were given a sneak peek of Peter Jackson’s long-awaited ‘The Hobbit‘ in 48fps HFR 3D. Reviews of the 10-minute clip were mixed. Some admired the tremendous clarity and “hyper-realism” of the image, while others missed the grain and traditional look of film. If you want to see HFR 3D for yourself, MasterImage 3D is screening 48fps, and 60fps 3D footage every 30 minutes at our CinemaCon suite. Come take a look at Tradeshow Suite Milano 2.

“Holding the tablet in the sweet spot right in front of me, I found the images to be stunning. And videos made exclusively for the demo leaped off the screen. Bubbles wafted and popped before my eyes. Graphic comics took on a new life.”
