It turns out that the themes for the year's Siggraph were Stereo 3D and Music performances.
Jean Detheux was giving a talk this year and was invited by Siggraph.
I just saw Pixar's 'Tokyo Mater' in 3D. I tried estimating the duration of each shot -
some establishing shots at 3 to 5 seconds - the rest 1 second or less. It seems to me this film was cut very much like a 2D film. It was 'worth it' to watch in 3D.

I talked with Ramesh Raskar and John Tumblin about their upcoming book 'Computational Photography'. Ramesh is based in Boston and is working with the Cirque du Soleil on some project. I explained the brain project to them both and asked if they were interested in talking with Munro. I have their business cards. John suggested Marc Levoy might be interested. He is working on the medical imaging side of things.

Marc Levoy used to be publishing a lot in the field of volumetric rendering, which is the technique I used for the Brain demo. He seems to have given up on this subject though and is focusing a lot more on computational photography. He is definitely one of the persons to contact.
