His expertise in this area, combined with the technical ability of D3D gives us a unique competitive advantage in this space. Given the size of marketplace and the number of tourists, this initiative could easily result in the largest 3D theater in the world, MPIX provides a distribution infrastructure and platform to enhance projects and expand our current capabilities.
