On July 23 and 24, 2009, in hall H at the San Diego Conference Center, Comic-Con 2009 participants will be able to experience the premium quality of Dolby 3D on one 55-foot main screen and three 25-foot screens distributed throughout the hall.
Comic-Con audience members will experience the latest in cutting-edge digital 3D with Dolby 3D’s unique full-spectrum color-filter technology that provides realistic color reproduction and extremely sharp images.
