REALVIEW’S ANSBRO AND BRAITHWAITE TO DEMO AT BRADFORD INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL MARCH 26TH
Product Demonstration to Take Place at Reception for Delegates to Wide Screen Weekend
Co. Roscommon, Ireland (March, 2010) – Today RealView Innovations Ltd. announced that co-founders Eamonn Ansbro and John Braithwaite will be on hand to demonstrate RealView’s depth-enhancing technology at the 16th Bradford International Film Festival at the National Media Museum March 26th. Ansbro and Braithwaite will demonstrate RealView’s 22” depth-enhancement screen at the reception for delegates to the Wide-Screen Weekend.
RealView Innovations, a developer of optical technology located in Ireland, made its initial launch in 2010 at the International Consumer Electronics Show with the release of the V-Screen for Sony® PSP™. The V-Screen uses patented optical technology first developed for the medical world to enhance depth cues hidden in existing images. The V-Screen allows video gamers the opportunity to experience the same depth-enhancement technology with PSP.
The same optical technology used in the V-Screen is also being developed for larger screens like the 22” wide Deep Screen being demonstrated at the Bradford Film Festival. The Deep Screen being shown at the Film Festival is slated for launch in 2010.
Currently, RealView is also working closely with Vistamorph, a Scottish company specializing in innovative ultra-wide screen projections for cinema. The two companies are working on ways to fuse their respective core technologies to create a depth-enhancing experience without relying on glasses to achieve the desired immersive effect. This “work in progress” will be demonstrated in a special viewing room at the reception for delegates Friday evening.
“The Bradford Film Festival is a spectacular opportunity for us to demonstrate our 22-inch depth-enhancing screen,” stated Eamonn Ansbro, Optical Engineer and Co-Executive Director of RealView Innovations. “Our participation at the film festival came as a direct result of a series of encouraging experiments in widescreen, depth-enhancing projection which the National Media Museum allowed us to carry out at one of their theatres. This is a great fit for us and we are thrilled at the opportunity”.
