Scenecaster
LABO invites you to attend a presentation of Scenecaster, a brand new three-dimensional creation service on the Web, accessible to all.
Until recently, creating three-dimensional scenes was reserved for specialists in 3D graphics, typically focusing on special effects in movies and television or creating videogames. Scenecaster’s goal is to make the creation of three-dimensional spaces more accessible and to do for 3D that YouTube did for video.
