i3DG Palm Top Theater
I encountered a presentation of Maki Ueda talking about ‘Palm Top Theatre i3DG’.
Palm Top Theater puts 3D movies in the palm of your hand. It is an exhibition consisting of a device called i3DG. i3DG derives from the words”I”, “3D”, and “Gadget”. i3DG is a playful analog extension to an iPhone or an iPodTouch, converting its 2D display into a layered 3D view. i3DG is invented by Jitsuro Mase, a media artist, and produced by DIRECTIONS, Inc, a Japanese media production company. It has won a prize of an international competition, Ars Electronica Festival 2010 Honorary Mention. This groundbreaking device lets you enjoy 3D movies right in the palm of your hand without 3D glasses or other gear. www.ueda.nl/ptt (texts from the crosslab events website).
