KBS forms consortium for 3D content

Korea's national broadcaster, KBS, has signed on to form a consortium with the leading companies of 3D industries to accelerate the development of 3D content, in an effort to meet the challenge of the rapidly growing market.

Last year, KBS broadcast the 2010 Daegu IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) World Challenge live in 3D, achieving a new standard of 3D broadcasting.

Among the companies that are involved in the consortium are Stereopictures, which specialises in 2D to 3D conversion, and Two Eye Digital.

Lee Dong-shik, Executive Managing Director of the Policy Planning Division of KBS, said it is important for the consortium members to cooperate in order to tackle the market that is still at a developing stage. He added that, the consortium led by KBS would lay a foundation for 3D industry in Korea.
