The April 2011 issue of Home Theater magazine has an article about PHL - the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, which works with studios on entertainment technologies, and they also mention the 3DIC - the Panasonic 3D Innovation Center, which has one of its five worldwide locations in Los Angeles. Members of the media were given a tour through the Labs, and I think a video tour of these facilities would make a wonderful posting on the LIHD site (or a live tour would make a spectacular prize for some lucky LIHD member).
Now, if only we knew where to contact someone affiliated with Panasonic.....
