PassmoreLab Converts Iconic Photos by World-renowned Rock Photographer Bob Gruen
Extending the boundaries of 3D imaging technology yet again, PassmoreLab has delved into the rock-and-roll archives of famed photographer Bob Gruen to produce the first-ever 3D conversions of images from the Rock, Punk, and New Wave eras. Working together with Gruen, whose vast collection of photographs comprises a veritable Who’s Who of music legends both past and present, the PassmoreLab team developed an innovative new process to convert many of Gruen’s well-known images to a format that can be viewed on stereoscopic displays.
The techniques used for the Gruen project are an extension of PassmoreLab’s system designed to convert legacy motion picture content, which the company has utilized in 2D-to-3D conversions of award-winning animations and short format theatrical titles. This groundbreaking process will ultimately open the doors for the conversion of any 2D image to 3D, making it possible for the art of still photography to take a significant step into the future.
