non-profit alliance of innovators promoting the development of an end-to-end
ecosystem for the capture, distribution and display of immersive media.

At its June meeting, SMPTE Hollywood will host a panel discussion
by representatives of companies that are founding members of IDEA. They will
discuss their plans for building holodeck-like technologies and share their
vision for the future of immersive media. The event will include a live
demonstration of the world’s first holographic desktop display from Looking
Glass Factory.
