By: S3DGA "When I saw 'Need for Speed SHIFT' in stereoscopic 3D at SIGGRAPH, I was impressed. The audience was blown away by how well 'SHIFT's' immersive cockpit was represented by the 3D tech, and we see a great future for S-3D in games. We need an industry-wide standard for S-3D gaming, and S3DGA has the drive and experience to push this forward. All developers and manufacturers should participate," As a Senior Art Director for "Need for Speed," Habib Zargarpour's game development credits also include "Need for Speed: Most Wanted," "James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing," and "Need for Speed Underground." Neil Schneider, the President and CEO of S3DGA, is best known for his pioneering work on Meant to be Seen (www.mtbs3D.com) "When game developers purposely support just one or two S-3D solutions, the message is that stereoscopic 3D gaming is just a technology demo. We can do better! With XBOX, PS3, and PC gaming now available in S-3D, our industry has grown large and diverse enough to get well beyond this stage. It's an honour that Electronic Arts is helping S3DGA fulfill its mandate, and with the industry's backing, the S-3D gaming standard will happen," said Schneider. An introductory S3DGA meeting will be held 5:30PM PST September 17th at the 3D Entertainment Summit. Meeting participation is free, and S3DGA meeting attendees qualify for a 25% discount on summit registration when they use the "S3DGA" discount code. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP via members@s3dga.com because space has grown very limited. "I am overwhelmed by the progress made in the last year in the 3D gaming world, and we are excited to be part of the next logical step by helping launch The S-3D Gaming Alliance at this year's 3D Entertainment Summit," said Bob Dowling, 3D Entertainment Summit Founder. Confirmed meeting speakers include Electronic Arts, Blitz Games Studios, XpanD, DDD, and more. Additional members on record include Jon Peddie Research, iZ3D, TDVision Corp., and Sensio.
