The University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) has introduced a brand-new 3-D Cinema course, made possible by a new 3-D projection installation in North Quad Room 1105. The course is taught by Matthew Solomon, a film studies professor at U-M since 2011, and is the first-ever Department of Film, Television, and Media<\/a> (FTVM) course taught entirely in 3-D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new setup uses shutter glasses, which are battery-powered LCD lenses synchronized with the projector via an infrared pulse. The room can switch between 2-D and 3-D projection modes, allowing it to function as a normal classroom when needed. The course has already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students, and one student is planning an honors thesis on 3-D cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several University of Michigan groups collaborated to make this learning experience possible: LSA FTVM, the Donald Hall Collection<\/a>, LSA Technology Services, Duderstadt Center Emerging Technologies Group<\/a>, the Special Collections Research Center<\/a>, and the Clements Library<\/a>. According to Professor Solomon, \u201c…the course has provided a concrete opportunity for different units to collaborate and work together to achieve the common goal of offering a truly innovative, one-of-a-kind, unlike-any-other-anywhere course for U-M students.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
