3D Sprint

3D display cube creates images in real-time

Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has unveiled a new handheld, 3D communications tool. The gCubik, developed by the NICT earlier in the year, reproduces 3D images, inside a 10cm-per-side cube, that are viewable without special glasses. Now, the gCubik+i can generate the images in real-time allowing them to be manipulated using touchscreen panels and on-board motion sensors.

Bolt’s Record Breaking 3D Sprint

Triple Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt’s record breaking run at Bupa Great CityGames in Manchester has become the latest sporting event to be captured in stereoscopic 3D in which Bolt smashes the 150-metre record.

Sky worked with Film Nova a division of the company that organised the event and production specialists Can Communicate. Inition assisted Can Communicate during the shoot which consisted of five dual-camera 3D rigs. It was also the first ever shoot to use a dual-camera mounted on a rail cam which travelled at 20+ mpH to capture the action.
