Mentioned on this list last month:
Xenotech Heralds New 3D Movie Era

PERTH, Australia, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Xenotech
Inc. (Alberta: XEN) has signed an agreement with
Imagica Corporation of Japan and its Imagica USA
Inc. subsidiary to combine their technologies and
expertise in a process to convert 2D films/videos into
3D stereoscopic films/videos.

This has great significance for the film and
entertainment industry in both original production as
well as enabling popular existing 35mm and 70mm 2D
movies to be re-released as 3D blockbuster extravaganzas.

"Movie studios and film library owners are recognizing
the potential of re-releasing blockbuster movies in 3D.
We are currently negotiating with several of them to
convert existing movies into 3D."

Thanks for the time,
Lawrence Kaufman, mailto:kaufman3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
