Subject:      Re: 3D-glasses

Try also  contacting Stereographics,  at Box 2309,  San Rafael,  CA 94912
(415)459-4500,  for  information  on special  hardware/software  for  3-D
display with computers  from the PC up.  It would  be more expensive than
the Sega, but there are other differences as well.  Tektronix, too, makes
3-D  display equipment,  but  I do  not have  the  address/phone for  the
particular department that sells it.

Both systems use  polarization encoding to switch one image  to the right
eye  and the  next to  the  left; high  refresh  rate is  used to  avoide
flicker.  Tektronix uses Liquid Crystal  shutter on the monitor and plain
polarizers on eye  glasses, so extra observers are cheap  and there is no
electrical  cord  connected  to  the Glasses.   Stereographics  puts  the
electronic shutter  on the glasses and  a plain polarizer on  the screen,
which comes out less expensive for just few observers.  Both systems have
color, and are available in several resolutions.

                       ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

                                  BMVC 90
                  British Machine Vision Conference 1990

                           University Of Oxford
                        24th - 27th September 1990

Organised by:
    The British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition

    The Alvey  Vision Conference  became established  as the  premiere
    annual UK  national  conference  for Machine  Vision  and  related
    topics.   The merger of the BPRA and Alvey Vision Club to form the
    BMVA enables this successful series of conferences to be continued
    with a similar flavour.

    The emphasis will continue to  be on UK research  being undertaken
    through  national   or   international   collaborative   projects,
    providing a  forum  for the  presentation  and discussion  of  the
    latest results  of  investigations.  Papers  from  other  nations,
    especially those  collaborating  with  UK groups,  are  also  very
    welcome. A printed copy  of the Proceedings  will be available  to
    delegates at the conference,  and a selection  of the best  papers
    will be  published separately  in  a special  issue of  Image  and
    Vision Computing Journal.

    Contributions are sought on any novel aspect related to:
            o  Image Processing and Feature Extraction
            o  Robotic Vision and Sensor Fusion
            o  Object Recognition and Scene Analysis
            o  Practical Applications of Machine Vision
            o  Reconstruction of 3D Shape
            o  Model Based Coding
            o  Advanced Pattern Analysis
            o  Architectures for Vision Systems
            o  Computational Issues in Visual Perception

    Papers will be  reviewed by  the BMVA Committee.  Papers must  not
    exceed 6 pages of A4 including figures, double column in 10  point
    type. A Poster  session will  again be  held. Authors  considering
    submitting short papers describing preliminary results may  prefer
    to use  this route.  Note that  posters (up  to 4  sides) will  be
    included in the proceedings. Standard format headers to assist  in
    preparation of camera ready copy available from:
        bmvc90@uk.ac.ox.robots

    Separate cash prizes will be given for the two papers which are
    judged by the programme committee:
        (i) to make the best scientific contribution (sponsored by the
            BMVA committee),
    or
        (ii) to have the greatest industrial potential (sponsored by
            Computer Recognition Systems Ltd).
