for Displays” will be held at the Washington State Convention

Sponsored by the Brazilian Trade
and Investment Promotion Agency
(APEX-Brasil) and the Brazilian Association for Informatics (ABINFO),
the seminar will take place during Display Week, the most
important display event in the world, sponsored by SID, the
Society for Information Display.
Brazil is a dynamic country with
almost 200 million people and strong economic growth, which has
continued through the recent global recession. Brazil´s great
attractions as a country in which to invest in display and
display-related industries deserve to be better understood and
exploited. The purpose of this seminar is to increase that
understanding, based on an analysis of the country´s strong
political, social and economic conditions, as well as on the
present and forecasted Brazilian market for displays and
display-related products. The political and financial instruments
created by the Brazilian Government to develop the display
industry in Brazil will be presented, principally its Productive
Development Policy (PDP) for Displays (Program 3), and its
instruments to support the companies that will participate in the
display supply chain.

Breaking the Fourth
Wall: The Next Generation of Interactive Displays
In theater, the fourth wall
defines the boundary between the audience and the world of
the play. When an actor steps out past the scenery and
directly interacts with the audience, he is said to be
"breaking the fourth wall." In display
technology, we have effectively been held hostage to our
own fourth wall -- the plane of the display. Mr. Bathiche
will explain why the next generation of combined sensing
and display technologies offers the promise of reaching
past this boundary to create truly immersive, interactive
experiences. These will redefine the way we compute,
communicate, and entertain ourselves. The technologies
that will allow us to break through this wall will be
explored.
