3D Video Starting to Become a Reality for Schools
Reporting in this month's eSchool News, Meris Stansbury highlights the interest being taken in US schools for 3D video.
Expecting that schools will be piloting new 3D video services within the next 12 months, Meris describes the way 3D video can be used to really enhance teaching in subjects like biology, maths and science. This article goes on to describe some of the commercial players investing in technical developments in this area. In mainstream video production circles, 3D has moved from being a somewhat odd backwater of interest involving the use of different types of glasses to a hot topic with significant interest coming from the entertainment industry. So it is hardly surprising that the impact of this interest is now being felt in the education sector due in particular to the availability of high-end and relatively low-cost 3D technology beginning with the availability of 3D-capable projectors in the classroom.
