> Convention highlights. Host: Mike Hillyard
A selection of the best shows from the 2026 Convention in Chester. An opportunity to see some fine 3D AV shows from stereographers around the world.
> 2D to 3D Conversions. Host: Paul Hutchence.
Paul Hutchence will show how he uses AI from various programs to make convincing 3D photos from 2D ones. He will show genuine 3D images taken with cameras such as W3, Beam Pro, Red Hydrogen One and iPhone 17 and then compare them with AI created stereophotos made from each one of the stereo pair images
His similar presentation at a Coventry meeting earlier in the year was well received. The differences between real and AI generated 3D should be of interest to members and will encourage them to try converting their legacy images into stereo.
