P3D Stereoscopic Displays and Applications Conference demo session

[Andrew Woods <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Arrangements are proceeding for the 9th Annual Stereoscopic Displays and
Applications conference to be held in San Jose, CA, Jan 26-28.
The following announcement relates to the demo session which will be
held 2:50pm to 5:30pm on Wednesday 28th January.
Demo equipment & slides or videos are requested from all conference
participants.  There are many regular attendees of the conference who are
subscribers to this list - I hope it will be of interest to other
subscribers as well.

Andrew Woods.

TO:  Authors and Participants of Stereoscopic Displays and Applications IX
 and The Engineering Reality of Virtual Reality 1998

As in the past few years, IS&T/SPIE has graciously made available to us a 
room for the display and demonstration of stereoscopic and VR equipment.  
Not only are all authors encouraged to show off parts or all of the systems 
that they will be talking about, but also all participants in our two 
conferences have the same opportunity.  Demonstrations of your latest gizmo 
or 3D/VR "title" are welcome.  The room will be open all attendees to 
Photonics West.  (We usually get quite a few people coming from the Exhibit 
Hall.)

The Demo Session will be in the same room as last year: J2, which is right 
next to our lecture room, J4.  Setup should be done the morning of 
Wednesday, the 28th, or during the lunch break.  (It may be possible to 
store equipment in the room overnite, but security cannot be assured.)  
The session itself is scheduled for 2:50, immediately after the Keynote 
Address.  The room will be monitored or locked during the morning and the 
rest of the day.  Please coordinate your setup with Andrew Woods or Mike 
Weissman.

Six-foot tables will be placed along the two long walls and power outlets 
will be supplied.  If you would like a telephone line, let us know ASAP.  
This is possible if you can pay for it.  (Even ISDN is available.)

The 3D video projector and slide systems will remain in Room J4 for those 
of us who would like to just bring tapes or 35 mm slides.  The most 
convenient format for 3D video is NTSC/Field-Sequential - equipment will 
be available to display this format from VHS or S-VHS tapes.  However, 
the projector system (provided by QD Technology again) is made up from 
two LCD projectors, so we can also support dual channel presentations.  
You will need to bring equipment that supplies either NTSC or VGA (640x480 
at 60 Hz) to the projectors.  (Please check with us if you would like to 
do this; someone may be bringing equipment that you need.)

Looking forward to seeing you in San Jose!

Mike and Andrew
