3D Cinema - Back to the Future

The IET’s aim is to divide the JLB Lecture slot into two parts - broadcasting 3D television and 3D film production with three discussions from speakers for 20 minutes, with the intention of including clips and finishing with a questions and answers session.

This one hour lecture is held annually in honour and memory of John Logie Baird who developed the first television and other key technologies associated with TV. This open invite/public lecture discusses the impact of multimedia in our society and the lessons learned from the series of breakthroughs in recent times.

For more details, please visit the John Logie Baird Lecture website.
