This event will be on the theme of 3D imaging technologies and systems, and it's been in the making for a number of months. The event - organized with the help of Eric Kurland - will showcase some devices that have been informally demo'd at previous events, and also have presentations by two respected pioneers in 3D/stereo imaging technologies: Ray Zone and John A. Rupkalvis.

Come on out and bring your friends - seating is limited, and we'll be projecting/demonstrating in 3D: we'll be handing out stereo glasses to folks in the crowd... so come early. We will have some incredible hardware on site, too. Personally, I've seen Ray Zone recently present at USC: it was interesting, articulate and intelligent.

Eric Kurland is an award winning filmmaker and digital artist whose films have played in festivals around the world. He also runs the Hollywood Mobile Movie, which presents guerrilla drive-in movies around Los Angeles. He is currently working on several independent stereoscopic projects and has hacked together various rigs for shooting and displaying 3-D video.

Ray Zone is a widely published author and speaker whose articles have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, American Cinematographer, and The Hollywood Reporter. A 3-D film producer and an award-winning 3-D artist and photographer, Zone has produced or published over 130 3-D comic books and created stereoscopic images for more than two decades.

John A. Rupkalvis is currently CEO of StereoScope International, which he founded in 1972, and Vice President of StereoMed, Inc., which he co-founded in 1978. He has served numerous clients in the motion picture and television industries, offering extremely experienced consultation on stereoscopic (three dimensional, or "3-D") imaging acquisition and display for producers and exhibitors. His extensive background has included serving as stereographer on over a dozen 3-D features and other productions, and he has designed and developed numerous stereoscopic systems and devices.
