This solution will also enable customers to access existing 3D content libraries for distribution and licensing purposes.

Leo Ze, managing partner of Celvision, added, “We are still at the early stages of development in this industry and there are technology challenges to overcome; we are confident that our partnership with KIT digital and imcube will yield several industry firsts in this fast growing sector. Celvision works with top content producers and global partners to convert feature films and premium content into 3D, and this extended offering will provide our customers with a more robust and flexible solution to reach a growing number of connected devices.”
