game industry will again take a significant leap forward."

technology and service vendors to meet with industry stakeholders to discuss business issues, demonstrate products and build
partnerships.
"Consumers are leading the way to pervasive
3D entertainment," added John Golicz, CEO of Unicomm, the event's organizer. "With the worldwide success of 3D movies
like James Cameron's Avatar, and the deluge of 3D product announcements at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) its clear that 3D is accelerating its march into the home. Video games will lead the way."
Key sponsors will highlight 3D gaming technology and provide brief viewing shorts
