Nick Tanton took the meeting through the way the DVB 3D subtitling specification works. The trick is to provide the display with a clue about where in terms of the depth in the picture to place a subtitle. It should not cut the objects, and probably be placed just forward of the object closest to the viewer. The spec allows this. This was a fascinating presentation, but there is clearly a lot of experience to be gain in placing titles in general in 3DTV. I found myself wondering if 3DTV itself could not help some to correct stereoscopic viewing disorders? I geuss it might. What do you think?
