Mechdyne's Vice President of Research and Development, Kurt Hoffmeister, will present a paper entitled "Method to test and quantify 3D active shutter glasses," at IS&T/SPIE's International Symposium on Electronic Imaging, being held February 3-7 in San Francisco, CA.

Hoffmeister's educational presentation will be part of the 2013 Stereoscopic Displays and Applications Conference, one of the advanced technical conferences offered at the symposium.  The objective of the presentation will be to define the performance parameters for active stereo shutter glasses and present a testing method to quantify and select glasses.  He is scheduled to present his paper as part of a session on 3D image quality, on Monday, February 4th at 11:50 a.m.

Hoffmeister serves as Vice President of Research and Development for Mechdyne Corporation, since co-founding the company in 1996. He is a recognized pioneer and worldwide expert in large-screen virtual reality and simulation system design, installation, and integration. A licensed professional engineer with several patents, he earned a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State University. Hoffmeister's responsibilities include the innovation, evaluation and implementation of the broad range of technology solutions offered by Mechdyne.

The 2013 Electronic Imaging Symposium will feature 24 technical conferences covering all aspects of electronic imaging, from image sensing to display and hardcopy. It is organized by IS&T and SPIE.

The Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T), is an international non-profit dedicated to keeping members and others apprised of the latest developments in fields related to imaging science through conferences, educational programs, publications, and its website. IS&T encompasses all aspects of imaging, with particular emphasis on digital printing, electronic imaging, color science, photofinishing, image preservation, silver halide, pre-press technology, and hybrid imaging systems.
