Stereoscopic Partnership with Berlin

In September of 2014, the SIM Centre partnered with The Next Big Thing Foundation, an initiative connected with Hootsuite that supports a group of 10 young entrepreneurs forming companies in the area of disruptive technology and/or social innovation. The S3D Centre and the 3D Innovation Center (3DIC) in Berlin, Germany became partners in late August 2014. Both institutes have a rich history in stereoscopic 3D, virtual reality and advanced imaging projects and expertise, which will lead to sharing of research and resources; collaborations; co-presentations; advocating for academic, business and personal adoption of advanced imaging tools and concepts, visual and immersive technologies; and, possible future student exchanges.

Back in November 2013, Western Economic Diversification announced Federal Government funding of $595,000 to support research at Emily Carr in order for us to stay relevant and competitive in the film, health and advanced materials sectors through the purchase of state-of-the-art motion capture, post-production, and 3D prototyping equipment. Late in November of 2012, Emily Carr joined an esteemed global network dedicated to the field of 3D as a founding member of the first Canadian Chapter of the International 3D Society, to be based in Vancouver.
