SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - November 11, 2008) - iZ3D, LLC, designer, marketer and developer
of advanced 3D visualization systems, is pleased to announce that it is a
winner of the notable Pioneer Award from the world's first digital "3-D
Film & Interactive Festival" (3DFF). The award was presented in Cocoa
Beach, Florida, via "The 3-D Film & Interactive Lounge." The event was the
first competitive digital 3D stereoscopic film festival in the world. For
more information visit www.3DFF.org.
"For its true pioneering achievements in the world of 3-D stereoscopic
gaming, I am pleased to present iZ3D with a 3DFF Pioneer Award," stated
Chris Crescitelli, 3DFF's Festival Director who went on to comment: "The
3DFF's Pioneer Award is something we give to honor the companies and
individual technologists who have paved the way with consumers to get them
excited about 3-D in the home and in theaters. iZ3d really fits this mold
and we are glad to honor them here today."
"iZ3D is honored to receive this award. We believe in 3D and have tried to
educate content creators on the benefits of stereoscopic 3D imagery to help
tell their story. We support 3DFF's non-profit initiative to acknowledge up
and coming independent 3D producers and directors, emerging gaming
technologies and other new content creators," remarked Thomas Striegler,
CEO of iZ3D, LLC.
3DFF's next big consumer entertainment event will be held in Salt Lake and
Park City January 16th-25th, 2009 during the film festival season.
Through its biannual and touring non-profit festival programs, 3DFF will
pay tribute to and honor the many companies, technologists, and content
creators, who have in the past and are currently pioneering the future of
the 3-D stereoscopic motion picture and video game industries.
The award-winning iZ3D monitors feature significant advantages over other
3D display systems. Gamers that want to experience spectacular game
graphics will appreciate playing in stereoscopic 3D. Graphic artists have
embraced the iZ3D monitor as an essential tool for 3D design. It is
difficult to create images in 3D while viewing the design on a flat 2D
screen. Movie buffs can now bring the thrill of a 3D movie to their home
theater system.
The company developed this technology to create an adjustable 3D
environment without eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or headaches. In 3D
mode, viewers can see sharp 3D images and video by wearing iZ3D passive
polarized glasses. Existing PCs equipped with a dual-output video card
powers the display. Specifications include: 1680 x 1050 resolution; up to
170-degree 3D viewing angle; 5ms response time; 700:1 contrast ratio; and
16.7-million colors. The monitor is available at www.pcmall.com,
http://www.newegg.com, http://www.amazon.com and www.iZ3D.com.
