Joel Silver, Founder and President of Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), gives us his perspective about 3D, stating that we are only at the very beginning, which he compares to 1939 for TV.

No Glasses? Its fine with one person in one place, like for gaming. For multiple viewers at the same time, well glasses look to be with us for a while… but lots of progress is being made!

Joel explains why size matters with 3D. He addresses directly the issue many people have, saying that they get tired.

He also explains in simple terms the reason sports pose a problem to film with wide football fields, whereas it’s not as much of a problem with a tennis match or golf when filmed behind one of the players.

The quality of the film and filming have their role and more… and with a quick mention of the challenges for Video Calibration.
