The 3D Consortium continued providing support to the "18th 3D Virtual Reality Expo" (renamed from the Industrial Virtual Reality Expo & Conference) which was held at East Hall 1 of the Tokyo Big Sight.
We installed a 3D Consortium booth at the exhibition site, and five member companies jointly exhibited at the booth. On June 25, Mr. Takafumi Koike from Hitachi, Ltd. gave a lecture under the theme, "The latest technical trends and case examples of 3D displays and 3D images" as a part of the specialized seminars we supported.
Also, 84,353 persons visited IVR over three days including the visitors of the "design/manufacturing exhibition" and the "machine element technologies exhibition" which were simultaneously organized.
