ATTENTION: EI 2022 will occur live ONLINE.
The program will include a variety of opportunities to interact with colleagues and presenters live, in formal and informal settings. IS&T is committed to providing the best online experience possible and supporting the community in light of travel/reimbursement restrictions. Join us for EI 2022 . . . submit your work today!
Conference Overview
The World’s Premier Conference for 3D Innovation
The Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference (SD&A) focuses on developments covering the entire stereoscopic 3D imaging pipeline from capture to 3D display, to processing and perception. The conference brings together practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to facilitate an exchange of current information on stereoscopic imaging topics. The highly-popular conference demonstration session provides authors with a perfect additional opportunity to showcase their work. Large-screen stereoscopic projection is available, and presenters are encouraged to make full use of these facilities during their presentations. Publishing your work at SD&A offers excellent exposure—across all publication outlets, SD&A has the highest proportion of papers in the top 100 cited papers in the stereoscopic imaging field (Google Scholar, May 2013).
2022 Conference Topics
Applications of stereoscopic displays
- Especially novel applications and user trials of existing applications. Application areas include: games, scientific visualization, medical imaging, television, entertainment, communications, training, CAD, molecular modeling, teleoperation, telepresence, virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial inspection, advertising, and stereoscopic visualization for 3D reconstruction and
3D printing
Advances in true 3D display technologies
- Including autostereoscopic displays, high-density multi-view displays, volumetric displays, light-field displays, ‘spatially-multiplexed’ displays (e.g. lenticular, barrier, integral imaging), ‘temporally-multiplexed’ displays (e.g. active shutter, view-scanning, steered backlights), multi-projector displays, mobile 3D displays, 3D tablets, stereoscopic projection, and electro-holography
Stereoscopic systems design
- For VR, AR, and MR head mounted displays, teleoperation,
telerobotics, telesurgery, head mounted displays, mobile devices, game
systems, consumer and professional broadcast, content delivery and
interaction technologies
- System performance, crosstalk, brightness, viewing freedom
