The effect that this technology from 3ality Digital LLC is able to do with a live stadium concert is not possible to describe. Eye position of a stereoscopic camera in real time, high resolution 3D systems with zoom lenses, and integrated digital processing gives us tomorrows film concerts – today!

The film was shot at the Vertigo Tour back in 2005. I had the pleasure of seeing them during this tour in Oslo in the summer of 2005. But seeing the crowed at the huge stadium in Buenos Aires, feeling their heartbeat, smelling their tears and sweat singing to Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, With Or Without You and One among all the great songs on this tour was a breathtaking, astonishing and a fantastic experience.

Sitting on top of Larry Mullen Jr. watching him at work, throws me directly to the event, I am not any longer at a cinema in London I am there! When Bono steps towards you it’s like you are able to scratch his nose. When you are in the crowd you are really among them, watching the girl in front of you filming with her cell-phone camera, is so real that all you can do is sit back and laugh.

It is actually a bit scary but this awesome film gives us a glimpse of the future of cinema.
