AIS(President: Young Lee, URL:http://www.ais.co.kr), specializing in Digital Photographing Technique and System Development, begins full-scale next-generation digital S3D(Stereoscopic 3D) business powered by individually developed S3D photographing and processing technology that can make it possible to realize the 'Scenographic Effect' on general PC monitor.

With this achievement, AIS has took initiative in production of S3D digital contents and, consequently, attained superiority over any other global companies - camera(picture) manufacturing technology and image converting technique as well as monitoring technique of photographing situation necessary for the Stereoscopic image production.

Until now this field has stood in the spotlight of promising imaging technology. However, the full-scale production and commercialization of S3D contents was hindered by the imperfect photographing equipment, technique and high-priced production cost.

Mr Young Lee mentioned, "the technology associated with S3D production was highly dependent on the degree of technological achievement. With the chance of this development and technological breakthrough the practical and commercial use of S3D contents will become widely available and affordable - S3D industry and market will be activated on the whole."

He added, "we will give top-priority to shopping, education, and tourism-related S3D sector that can create the maximum intended effect at this stage". He also showed his ambitious plan to expand business scope to DVD domain in near future. AIS, a constant system developer, have been concentrated on its technological innovation in S3D field since 1992.
