Playboy raises the bar with 3-D centerfold

Quote:

CHICAGO, May 11 (Reuters) - Playboy magazine, a pioneer in featuring photographs of naked women on its pages, said on Tuesday its June issue's 3-D centerfold will be an eye-popping collectible.

It was an idea the Playboy Enterprises' (PLA.N) founder Hugh Hefner says he had a half-century ago when he created the monthly, but couldn't afford.

HBO, a unit of Time Warner Inc (TWX.N), is helping out with the cost of 3-D glasses bound up with the issue, which hits newsstands on Friday.

Playboy's Playmate of the Year, Hope Dworaczyk, can be seen like no centerfold has been seen before. Her offering of a glass of wine appears to come off the page, along with the rest of her.

The 3-D craze has exploded with viewers donning glasses to take in movie hits "Avatar" and "How to Train Your Dragon."

In a crowded field of magazines, Playboy has seen its circulation decline to less than 3 million from 6 million in the 1970s.

"You're constantly competing for people's time, you're competing for their attention," said Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jellinek. "You have five seconds to reach them. In order to force them to physically go to the newsstand and buy your product, you have to give them a reason. And this is a reason ...

"It's tactile. It's something that uses the platform and the medium for which it was created," he said.

lets see what happens...

Maybe this will help Playboy turn losses into profits.

Nothing is better than the real thing and I speak from experience :winkwink:

Yeah 3D is going to save everyone

I have seen it and the 3D ad for the show True Blood is pretty cool. Hope Dworaczyk is hot regardless of 3D or not.

we shoot 3D content as well. Here you can see some samples: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...n. com&page=2

Damn Playboy is doing what DC comics did 40 years ago... about time they catch up!

3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be for later display or for real-time viewing.

figured I might as well beat the GFY post bot..

jesus christ its about time they caught up with 3D movies...made in the 1950's! hahaha

if they wanted to be really cool they make the centerfold or one whole page a real 3d or holographic image, no glasses needed.

if you still need glasses to view a 3d image, the technology has not come far in 60 years.

I love Playboy magazine and the brand but they have officially jumped the shark. First a cartoon and now this.

I haven't read a playboy for close to ten years, might pick up this issue just to check it out.
