June 30, 2010 undoubtedly marks one of the most historical events in Philippine history with the inauguration of President Noynoy Aquino. But it’s not the only reason why it’s going to be special. I was watching the news last night when I came across a segment saying that GMA news was going to capture today’s Presidential inauguration using 3D technology.
GMA7 boasts that for the first time ever, the inauguration of a head of state will be captured in 3D. The entire inauguration to be held at the Quirino Grandstand will be captured by a “special camera that records the same scene from slightly different angles, replicating humans' natural binocular vision.”
Similar to the movies now available in 3D, it allows viewers to see the events as if it was happening in front of them. This is in line with the continuing trend of enhancing media coverage through the use of technology, as seen recently with the news coverage of the Presidential elections held last May 10. It was then that the first hologram effect was aired live in Philippine TV, just like in Star Wars.
The only thing is, not everyone has televisions that are 3D-capable which will allow everyone to see the effect of the broadcast just by putting on 3D glasses. As such, GMA Network will initially be archiving the footage in preparation for a special screening for selected audiences.
