Felix is a gamer from Germany and a member of Meant To Be Seen (MTBS) 3D. He traveled about ~550 km to Paris to attend the Dimension 3 Forum in Pantin, France. He made the travel so that he could meet up with other Meant To Be Seen (MTBS) 3D members, be around other like-minded individuals who are playing in the 3D gaming world, and to see 3D films. Felix is playing in 3D mostly using the NVIDIA and iZ3D drivers. We also got to meet up with Marco Neiva from Portugal who hosted an event called “3DinGames” that brought together about 100 people to come and experience 3D gaming. At the “3DinGames” even Marco Neiva brought together 5 different 3D technologies to share with everyone, including: Dual Projection, 3D Projection, Anaglyph, Active Shutter, and Polarized System. The event took place in Portugal. Below is his video from the “3DinGames” event. Marco Neiva’s website: 3DinGames 3DInGames – Vídeo do evento from Marco Neiva on Vimeo.

Neil Schneider, founder of Meant To Be Seen 3D (MTBS3D), agrees that the industry of stereoscopic 3D gaming has been growing by leaps and bounds, especially in the last few years and thanks to iZ3D and NVIDIA and other software, monitors, and 3D products. Neil Schneider founded Meant To Be Seen 3D (MTBS3D) an online community that is said to be the largest 3D community today. Meant To Be Seen’s mission statement from their website is “… to promote and foster superior game immersion and visual beauty, and the only way to do that is through stereoscopic 3D technology.” An overview of the Meant To Be Seen community’s purpose is: To advocate and educate consumers and game developers so stereoscopic 3D; To certify video games in the marketplace and in development; To develop and promote programming standards; To endorse and benefit game engines; To offer membership discounts on Stereoscopic 3D products, services, and compatible software; and to add a new level of FUN to the gaming community. The MTBS3D Community has a video games focus but finds that gamers are given complete immersion in the gaming world and shows that there is in deed a demand for 3D and that the spread of 3D is possible and the community gives birth to converting many regular 2D gamers into 3D gamers to further spread the possibilities of 3D technology and innovation, from a completely consumer driven organization. One of the advantages of 3D Festivals like the Dimension 3 Expo or the 3DX Festival in Singapore back in November of 2008, is that it provides a place for the consumer and producer of 3D to come together and meet, interact, and discuss the current and future of the Art of 3D. At the D3 Forum in Pantip, France, members of MTBS3D did just that. Since a large portion of their membership is from Europe the D3 Forum in France provided a meeting ground for some of the members who only knew each other through their online Meant To Be Seen community. Stay tune to further videos from the Dimension 3 Forum in France and interviews with some of the MTBS3D community.
