WASHINGTON, DC – This year’s NAB show will include a special attraction known as the International Research Park (IRP) which, among other new technologies, will feature the first U.S. presentation of a 200-inch, glasses-free 3D projection system.
Presented by NAB Labs, IRP is a venue designed to highlight advanced projects underway in academic, government and commercial research laboratories worldwide. It will be located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and open to all attendees during the NAB Show from April 16-19, 2012.
The glasses-free 3D projection system will be presented by the Japanese national research lab National Institute for Information and Communication Technology. As the world's largest display of its kind, the viewing zone for the demonstration is large enough for 30 people to optimally view 3D images without eyewear.
Other demonstrations in IRP will include hybrid radio and television broadcasting proposals (including converged broadcast/wireless-telecom systems), multi-sensory media presentations, 4k video streaming, high-dynamic range and multi-spectral video, enhanced media accessibility for visually and aurally impaired users, 2D and 3D multi-viewpoint video, advanced file-based workflows, advanced interactive gesture control and data visualization technologies.
With more than 90,000 attendees from 151 countries and over 1,500 exhibitors, the NAB Show is the world's largest electronic media show covering filmed entertainment and the development, management and delivery of content across all mediums.
