Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Kerner announced a new studio today, that will ensure Vancouver is established as a leading international centre for 3D cinematographic research. Kerner, previously part of George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, is an innovative provider of visual effects and 3D technologies.

The Centre for S3D Development will be housed in Emily Carr's Intersections Digital Studios (IDS), and will include Kerner's advanced stereoscopic 3D enabling technologies, stereo camera rigs, and processing pipelines. Research will focus on live action cinematographic story-telling using the rapidly expanding 3D movie medium.
