Gavin Ogden of Edge-Online reports that Bob Dowling, the former Hollywood Reporter publisher, and Unicomm, have announced the first ever 3D gaming Summit. The event will explore how the $50 billion games industry aided by stereoscopic 3D will bridge the cap between interactive and linear entertainment. The event will take place from April 21-22 of this year at the Hilton Universal City in Los Angeles.
Dowling says, "It is clear games have driven entertainment for the last many decades. Interactive entertainment is both more challenging and more satisfying. The advent of stereoscopic 3D only amplifies the intensity and immersion in the actual experience. When stereoscopic 3D is in the consumer's home through 3D enabled television the game industry will again take a significant leap forward."
According to John Golicz, CEO of Unicomm, "Consumers are leading the way to pervasive 3D entertainment. With the worldwide success of 3D movies like James Cameron's Avatar, and the deluge of 3D product announcements at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) its clear that 3D is accelerating its march into the home. Video games will lead the way."
