Dolby Laboratories, Inc., London, December 10 and Barco at Empire Leicester Square cinema staged the world premiere of James Cameron
's Avatar movie, which uses Dolby 3D technology for large screens (see:
“Dolby 3D and Barco Projection technologies are central to the world premiere of Avatar” ) .
They say that the best impressions of the film can be obtained only in specialized for viewing 3D cinema halls, such as
IMAX .
According to many reviews, the film opens up a new era of 3D cinema, and indeed 3D entertainment in general.
Simultaneously with the film, a new 3D toy should be released (see:
“Avatar The Game: video from developers” ).
The Weta Digital studio , known for its work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, worked on the visual effects of the film, using the latest computer technology to create the film to create a magical, realistic 3D world into which the viewer will plunge.
Today, many companies are investing heavily in the development of 3D technologies, including the creation of 3D films. In the first place, of course,
AMD / ATI and
nVidia , but
Intel also tries its best. Few people know that, apart from making a lot of noise from protracted construction - the Intel
Larabee project, designed to create incredible 3D graphics, Intel has long been actively involved in developing technologies (InTru 3D) and creating high-quality 3D movies - for more, see:
Aliens. But - for 3D! Or "How Intel goes to the movies" » .
It seems that we are entering a new era, when gradually 2D films / graphics will be supplanted by solid 3D films / 3D graphics - in 3D cinemas, on a
3D TV and on 3D monitors, which will be watched using special
3D - points .
And people will want to watch only 3D movies :)
Of course, global corporations like Intel, Sony, etc. are interested in this, because such a 3D revolution inevitably gives rise to a new race of ever more powerful CPU / GPU processors, a new format war - they will invent some new Super Puper-Blu-ray Disc, new TVs, well, etc. etc. With the ensuing possibilities of making heaps of green "grandmothers" and at the same time out of the global economic crisis :)
