Scope
IC3D provides in-depth coverage of all the aspects of 3D.
IC3D addresses all the modalities/types of 3D, including stereoscopic, multiview (or multiscopic), lightfield (or plenoptic or integral), volumetric, holographic, and range (or depth), as well as free-viewpoint imaging/TV and wide-angle or omnidirectional imaging.
IC3D considers, for each of these 3D modalities, all possible operations in each conceivable, end-to-end 3D processing chain, e.g., from the capture of real 3D images or the generation of synthetic 3D images, through pre-processing, scene modeling, compression, coding, transmission, storage, and post-processing, to visualization, printing, and other forms of exploitation.
IC3D explores the many applications of each of these 3D modalities, mainly ranging from cinema and broadcast, through industry, engineering, design, science, medicine, defense, and R&D, to communication, education, and entertainment.
IC3D covers all the bases for all the above topics, including the principles, theories, sciences, physics, optics, electronics, algorithms, processing, technologies, and human factors. All of the above defines what we mean by 3D imaging.

Topics of interest
- All conventional and exotic 3D modalities
- All operations, applications, and bases for each 3D modality
- Human 3D perception, including Vision Science
- Capture and generation of 3D data
- Transformation of captured and generated 3D data
- Modeling of 3D scenes from captured 3D data
- 3D stereography
- Transmission and/or storage of 3D content
- Spatial-3D audio
- 3D visualization and immersion.

Context
While IC3D is a self-contained event, it is seamlessly integrated into 3D Stereo MEDIA. This overall, umbrella event is built on the following pillars: a Scientific Conference (the present IC3D), a Professional Conference, a 3D Film Festival, a 3D Film Mart (of co-production), a 3D Academy (in 3D movie-making and stereography), the I3DS-Europe awards (in collaboration with the International 3D Society, Hollywood, CA), B2B Meetings, and a Gala Evening, to be held in Liège on 3-6 Dec 2012.
