    Call for Papers



    Stereoscopic 3D: A Creative Summit

    Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th March, 2013

    The British Film Institute,

    South Bank,

    London

http://www.bfi.org.uk



    Ravensbourne (www.rave.ac.uk) and the i3DS Society 
(http://tinyurl.com/crfcmbq), have great pleasure in calling for papers 
for the third international conference on stereoscopic film and television.



    On June 21 1838 the Royal Society published Charles Wheatstone’s 
paper on 3D Stereoscopy, Contributions to the Physiology of Vision. The 
eminent Professor of Experimental Philosophy at Kings College London 
laid out principles of stereoscopy and later invented the stereoscope. 
The stereoscopic technique has therefore existed for over 150 years, but 
what level of maturity has it reached?



    The aim of the overall conference is to draw together industry and 
academia to debate and demonstrate what the nature of high quality 
stereoscopic television and film is. The conference aims to promote 
discussion around the development of international standards, something 
of high interest to industry. As researchers, however, we deepen the 
debate to ask, in a dedicated section of the conference...



    ·      Can 3DS be considered to have reached maturity? Who decides 
what creative or technical ‘maturity’ means?



    ·      What is the possibility of setting worldwide technical 
standards and creative guidelines for stereoscopic film, television and 
other related content?



    ·      It could be argued that the releasing of 2D to 3D 
conversions is having a degenerative effect on the maturation of the 
craft of stereoscopic 3DS. The need to generate revenue through ‘brand 
3D’ may be altering the perception of 3DS from audience perspectives. 
Should we therefore now define what is and what is not ‘true’ stereoscopy?



    ·      What is next after the commodification of 3DS, for example 
4K 3DS?



    We will be accepting around 15 papers or presentations on the 
topics above, which can include investigations into stereoscopic 
animation or gaming if the study contributes to the conference theme. 
However ALL acceptable research from practitioners interested in 
stereoscopic 3D can have a place through the exhibition of a poster 
outlining your work. Attendees will also be able to contribute to a 
workshop, which will map research being generated in this field, worldwide.



    Papers, posters, or expressions of interest in mapping 3DS Research 
should be sent in the form of abstracts to (lizzie.jackson /at/ rave.ac.uk) by 
Monday 4th February 2013. Please also state your name, affiliation, and 
provide a one – paragraph biography and photograph.



    If sufficient quality papers are generated by the conference, we 
may organise the publication of a subsequent edited collection.


We look forward to hearing from you.

Lizzie
