Project 2020 3D Media: 3D immersive

First experience of exchange of perception of two people located at 1.300 Kilometers.

Within the framework of the European Project 2020 3D Media, and within the framework of an investigation sponsored by Mediapro, Crew-Creative Workers and Datasat, on the fifth of March a performance was held W (Double U) in world premiere between the Belgian city of Mons and the headquarters of the Catalan group in Barcelona.

This European project aims to investigate, Develop and demonstrate new ways to produce entertainment experiences based on capture technologies, production, Distribution and display of immersive and three-dimensional images and sounds. This project, of four years' duration, provide new dimensions for digital cinema and create new immersive and 3D multimedia content.
