The International 3D Society (I3DS) will be presenting the 3D TECHNOLOGY AWARDS on Tuesday, October 5, from 6pm-8:30pm at the Mann Chinese Theatre; it was announced today by Awards Committee Co-Chair and Oculus3D President Lenny Lipton.
The Society serves the 3D community with education and recognition for stereoscopic 3D professionals.
The International 3D Society's recent I3DS Creative Awards Show was filled to capacity with 400 people in February. A total of 15 Lumiere statuettes and 2 People's Choice Awards were handed out at the Awards Show recognizing 3D professionals for their creative work.
In keeping with the Society's mission of education, demonstration and celebration of 3D achievement the 3D Technology Awards will recognize those involved in 3D enabled platforms and technologies.
Lipton remarked, "The International 3D Society, with its Technology Awards, is seeking to honor contributors in the field of stereoscopic imaging. An Awards committee of key technologists and students of the art will be assembled to recommend the individual contributions." Because this is the beginning of what will become a tradition the awards will acknowledge activity that took place in this and prior years. The 3D Technology Awards Show will be utilizing MasterImage3D passive glasses and technology.
Jim Chabin, president of the nonprofit professional association, stated, "The Society is presenting these awards to recognize, for the historical record, the people, the technologies and the organizations who have brought us to this new 3D ERA." The International 3D Society provides community, education and recognition for professionals engaged in 3D production. Society sponsors include Signature Sponsor, XpanD and Founding Sponsor, MasterImage 3D.
