>Our barrier technology combines the both strengths of 2 D and 3 D. A 2 D photo looks very natural and confortable but it has not a depth. A 3 D photo has a depth but is not natural and there is a magic feeling. Especially 3 D photo viewing is not convenient. Even lenticular solved the convenient problem, it degraded the quality of photos and is still magic too, and it is not so strong 3 D effects like ours. Our barrier technology create a true-life.

Therefore, our barrier marketing is not only in the traditional 3 D
markets which focus on children and novelties but also into the 2 D
professional photo markets which focus on advertising. So that we meet a
paradox problem: If we are looking for 3 D studios as our dealers, their
clients are not probably suitable for our targeting clients; if we are
looking for 2 D professional photolabs as our dealers, they look us as
their competitors and do not actively promote and market our products.
So till now, we have mainly found both 2 D photolabs and marketing
companies as our dealers but not yet found 3 D studios as our dealers
although it is a good opportunity to let 3 D studios expand markets and
make money.

My question still is that you, 3 D studios have competence to do
marketings and promotions for the barrier products?
