Abstract :
The latest developments in 3D video promise to advance the medium from a passive experience to a fully interactive one. As 3D video makes this transition, the underlying technologies are maturing to the point of commercial viability. We´ve yet to achieve the seamless virtual reality experience of the Star Trek holodeck, but today´s virtual environments indicate that it´s only a matter of time until we do
