Announcing the initial meeting of the USC SCA IMD Stereoscopic Imaging Research Group. This will be a group for anyone in the USC SCA community with interest in any aspect of stereoscopic 3D imagemaking and research.

When: Wednesday July 22nd 4-5:30pm

Where: USC SCA Digital Collaboratory Annex, 2823 S. Flower Street
(entrance on 29th Street between Figueroa & Flower).

Relevant research topics and projects will include:
• Stereoscopic cinema and animation.
• Stereoscopic imagemaking, photography and cinematography.
• Stereoscopic & binocular vision and depth perception.
• Stereoscopic aesthetics and design.
• Interactive and real-time stereoscopic applications and virtual environments.
• Dimensional imaging and display technologies and techniques.

• Historical, cultural and social aspects of stereoscopic imaging.

We will be meeting regularly (probably every other week) to discuss topics, projects and initiatives.

Also, we have an immediate (and I mean right away!) opportunity for one or more animators for a short-term summer research project. If you are interested please get in touch with me, or come to the meeting.

My name is Sean Santiago. I am Vice President in charge of Visual FX for Walden Media. In 2006 we shot the first ever live action digital 3D film JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH 3D. I am very interested in this meeting group and would love to join!

I am currently in Australia beginning photography on our next major film. I return August 1st.

Please keep me in the loop!

FYI: James Cameron's announcement at Comic-Con yesterday: "We’re going to do something unprecedented. It’s a social marketing experiment. We’re going to take over as many IMAX 3D theaters and other select 3D theaters worldwide on August 21 and we’re going to let an international global audience come see 15 minutes of Avatar for free. It’s going to be Avatar day."

Hey Perry, I am an adjunct prof in the Animation program (I teach intro to Maya). I am quite interested in S3D, and would like to join the group. Is there another meeting planned?
