[Commlist] International Conference | Stereo & Immersive Media 2021

International Conference
*Stereo & Immersive Media 20**21***
Photography, Sound and Cinema Research**

**

*Online Edition***

*June 17-19, 2021*

Organized by Lusófona University, Lisbon, Portugal

The /International Conference on Stereo & Immersive Media///aims to 
bring together the research fields of photography, sound and cinema, 
considering their historical and current relationships with expanded and 
immersive environments. In 2021, due to the Corona virus pandemic, its 
4th edition will adopt an online format and will combine traditional 
plenary sessions and themed parallel tracks, with a S3D Short Film 
Festival and a Virtual Art Gallery to showcase the most recent and 
diverse immersive artworks.

Stereoscopic and immersive technologies have been widening the scopes of 
photography, sound and cinema since the 19th century. Immersion draws 
both on state of the art technologies and on old and discontinued media 
that have once stimulated and expanded our perception. While these 
technologies (from stereo views to cinema, virtual reality or video 
gaming) have deeply strengthened the human relationship to virtual 
worlds, they have also made visual documents more engaging, triggering 
richer and more inspiring interpretations of reality. Today, some of 
these technologies are also being used and considered vital to reshape 
our perception of heritage and to allow new readings and museological 
experiences of historical collections.
