Last night, the International 3D Society held their Inaugural 3D Technology Lumiere Awards celebration in the famous Mann’s Chinese Theater, recognizing the best in 3D and Technology.

Who was honored and why? First, it’s important to point out the Century Award is the highest mark of respect bestowed by the 3D Society and the first award went to Texas Instruments DLP Cinema. Nvidia was honored for developing a graphics card with the capacity to handle 3D content. This was the point in the evening when it became clear why there’s a special awards show just for 3D.

In addition to NVidia and TI, awards were given to Sassoon Film Design, IMAX, Sony Pictures Imageworks, 3ality, In Three, Autodesk, RealD, Dolby Digital, and Panasonic.
