Re: 100 FREE 3D photo editing tool and shutter glasses giveaway!!

Hi Sam,

I apologize if I can not reply your mail or others' soon due to the issue
of "FREE SAMPLES".


>Thanks for the info Albert. Just to be clear as to what the rules are, can
>you please explain the following:

>Are you giving away 100 pairs of shutter glasses, or is there only one
pair
>with a limited number of contestants ?

Yes, I am going to offer 100 units of 3D PhotoMaster which includes ONE
shutter glasses, a 120Hz VGA driver for flickerless display on WIN95 and
two different kinds of 3D photography tool which allow you to interleave
the left and right photos with binocular parallax effect. Because it is not
completed produt yet( I don't have a printed user's guide), you need to
refer to all the necessary operating instructions on my web site. The
reason why I offer these free sample is "creat a new opportunity of 3D
business". As I discussed "how to creat a third round of popularity of 3D
photography" with George and Don several months ago( perhaps in last
April), I thought there would be no chance for traditional 3D photography
to creat the third round of popularity because of the unconvinience of
traditional paper mount and viewer. More clearly, you hardly make money
from it. However, nowadays computer and electronics technology will change
this situation. With the advent of digital camera (resolution and quality
is improved faster than you can expect) and 3D glasses(cheaper than
traditional viwer), it is really easy to shoot and creat your own 3D photos
on PC if you have a tool to interleave left/right images. You also can do
it with regular camera if you know how to scan your slid/photos into PC. I
can see the third round is emerging now because four major factors satisfy
the condition.

1) cost and performance of input/output device satisfy the marketing needs

Price of digital camera(input device) with 1M pixels is going to drop to
US$1,000 soon. Also, scanner(input device) is popular already. 3D
glasses(output device) is gona as cheap as a mouse in next year. 

2) standard for 3D glasses

Microsoft and Intel have defined a new standard for 3D shutter glasses.
This means 3D glasses will become one of the standard periphral soon.

3) well developed internet network

You can let lots of millions internet users enjoy your 3D through internet
immediately after you put it on your web. 

4) available 3D authoring tool 


To creat the third round you need to orfer an  easily solution for the
public. You need to create an environment that allows people to enjoy 3D.
More over, you need to let people, who don't have any 3D experiece, make
their own 3D. The reason why I offer free samples to 3D folks is that I
need you to creat a 3D environment on internet first. There are many
users(hundreds of thousands) of SimulEyes, Vrex, 3D Max, NuVison, 3DTV,
Woboo and etc, What they can do with the glasses is nothing but the games.
Unfortunately, the existing VR games are not attractive and the number of
games is limited, perhaphs less than 30 titles. We can make their idle
glasses to be useful again if we can set up hundreds of 3D web pages. You
may find a new business opportuniy if hundreds of thousands internet users
visit your web site. For example, I am going to sell 3D CD-ROMs through
internet soon. You'll see some new DEMO photos on my web. You can also
publish your 3D CD-ROM with low cost ( I think I can help to produce CD-ROM
if necessary. I believe we have many publishers on photo-3d who are also
interested in this business.)  This bring you a business opportunity. Then
we can drive more people to make their own 3D if we show them the right
business chances. And this is the begining of THE THIRD ROUND!


>Why is this contest first come first served? Is there an expiry date or
>something?

No, there is no expiry date. I only can offer 100 units freely, perhaps
more if demands is great. For equal chance, I only can make a rule of first
come first served. BTW, this is not a "contest". I am looking for 3D folks
who get the same idea with me and want to creat THE THIRD ROUND. 

>Why are you requesting our credit card numbers for just a contest?

Sorry, this is my mistake. You may send me the freight with cash or
check(US$) to the following places.

$5    to Skylick Inc, 11575 Cedarcliffe Dr., Austin, TX 78750, USA  if you
are in USA
$25  to Skylinc Inc, if you are in other area.

>Is this open only to 3d "professionals" as posted, or can amatuers also
enter?


Both professionals and amatures have the equal right if they safisfy the
conditions.


>I'd like to think this is a legitimate offer, so please post the answers
to
>this list as soon as you can.

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.
