Grant's Perspective on ... 3D hologram telepods at Queen's University.
Holographs are certainly in the news. Professor Roel Veregall, Queen's University, Human Media Lab will unveil the TeleHuman and BodiPod at CHI 2012 in Austin Texas this week.
They report that the life-sized cylinders create 3D life sized images so that videoconference participants can stand directly in front of the person they are talking to.
See the Queen's University YouTube video below or view this video and more at the Queen's webpage.
A further example of things envisioned on Star Trek.

3D Education Blog Future-Talk 3D
Grant's Perspective on ... a blog that discusses the effectiveness of 3D and other technologies.
As an AV systems designer and programmer at Inland AV, I often wonder about how new technology is used. Is it just the re-packaging of existing content or does new technology lead to better and different ways of communicating? I sense that many people underestimate the power of learning in 3D and they feel it is just about going to the movies.
I was happy to see that Len Scrogan is sharing his observations and thoughts on using technology in the classroom in his Future-Talk 3D blog.
It is great to see someone looking at how best to use technology in the classroom.

Webcast Presentations: Digital Projection, Kramer & BrightLink 450Wi
Grant's Perspective on ... Inland AV Open House Seminar Webcast
The Inland AV February 12, Open House event in Edmonton included 3 seminars that were webcast live. The presentations have been archived and are now available for on-demand viewing.
The 3 seminars are:
1 -Digital Projection Overview - Paul Gomes, Digital Projection
2 - Analog to Digital Transition and Your AV Investment - Ed Tchoi, Future Image Systems
3 - Epson BrightLink 450Wi: The New Interactive Projector - Jared Scott, Epson Canada
Click here and you will go to the webcast registration page (screen capture below). Register and you will access the webcast lobby page. Click on "watch now" (I encourage you to view with the Explorer browser and watch the Silverlight formatted presentations) and the webcast window will open. Use the index points drop down menu (bottom left hand corner of the webcast screen) to go directly to any of the 3 seminars.
The screen capture below is from the Epson BrightLink 450Wi seminar. Jared Scott, Epson Canada introduces and demonstrates the new interactive projector.
In addition to the content of the webcasts, I wanted to mention that webcasting is a service of the Inland AV Rentals department. Webcasting extends the reach of a live event offering a great ROI.

Analog To Digital Transition
Grant's Perspective on ... Kramer Canada educational presentation
The Inland AV Winnipeg Open House event is 2 weeks away (January 29, 2010). Included in our always successful event are 2 presentations.
There is the Digital Projection, Titian 3D projector demonstration. We have been hearing all about 3D at the movie theatre and most recently last week's CES show promoting consumer 3D TV. There is a lot of interest about this - some wanting to acquire this technology immediately and some that are just interested in experiencing 3D. I saw the first 3D projectors at last years InfoComm. There were long line-ups to see it but the wait was worth it. Perhaps the line would have been shorter if some people did not stay in there so long - but that just shows the level of interest.
Then there is an educational presentation about the Analog to Digital Transition. It is important that everyone understands the evolution of technology so that we are all able to plan a reasonable AV strategy. Many clients have analog technology in place such as VGA and composite video signals and they need to know how their AV system can evolve over time without going back to square one. Richard does a great job of explaining this, so I recommend that it's worth the effort to attend.
I encourage everyone who is interested in corporate AV to attend the January 29th session in Winnipeg and in Edmonton, February 12.

TITAN 1080p Dual3D Projection Demonstration
Grant's Perspective on ... real cool 3D, HD projectors!
Inland AV (my employer) is hosting Reaching For AV Gold in Winnipeg on Friday, January 29. I am really looking forward to seeing the cutting-edge 3D projector demonstration.
Digital Projection is delivering a keynote presentation featuring the TITAN 1080p Dual3D projector. This projector is rated at 9,000 lumens and will look awesome on our HD rear screen.
This projector is the ultimate workhorse - no fancy plastic covers here, totally pro gear. To achieve 3D you need a 3D projector, a server and of course the 3D glasses. Wearing glasses is required to get the 3D experience (glasses pictured in 2D above). What the glasses do is receive information via an infrared transmitter to synchronize the glasses with the projected image. This is why the new 3D is so good.
Who would want 3D projection? You'd be surprised. The brochure says it best so I'll plagiarize "... for vital immersive applications including: military simulation, scientific visualization, medical and geological research, product engineering, commercial cinema and theme park attractions."
Interesting to note that the Consumer Electronics Show is now happening in Las Vegas and the 3D television products are a big hit. 3D is growing in all areas of audiovisual.
