“Pursuing 3-D, in a 2-D World”
Since its inception, 3-D technology has been around for
almost 100 years! And over the course of this time, 3-D
has seen both highs and lows of consumer adoption
rates. What does the future hold for 3-D films? Nostalgia
for some? Perhaps a fad to others? Or, perhaps for
those visionaries the dawn of a brand new era where
technology, consumer demand and content collide.
Presenter: Ann Marie Dumais, SVP, Nielsen PreView (Forum Room)
