PLAYBOY Releases Its First-Ever 3D Centerfold

More than 50 years after introducing the illustrious Playmate Centerfold, Playboy is making history again with the introduction of its first-ever 3-D Centerfold in the magazine’s June 2010 issue (on newsstands May 14 and online now).

Playboy’s 2010 Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk is featured in the seductive 3-D nude image, which comes to life before readers’ own eyes. The first-of-its-kind Centerfold is sponsored by HBO to promote the launch of “True Blood” Season 3, which premiers on the network June 13. The Centerfold is also accompanied by a 3-D “True Blood” ad, complimentary 3-D glasses, and a series-themed Data Sheet with vampire-inspired stats and facts – adding a creative, new twist to the classic magazine feature.

“I wanted to create a 3-D pictorial for the very first issue of Playboy, but didn’t have enough money to include the 3-D glasses,” said Playboy founder Hugh M. Hefner. “I’m happy to see the idea come to fruition with the help of one of my favorite TV shows, “True Blood,” and I think Playboy fans will enjoy seeing our Playmate of the Year’s true form.”

The three-page 3-D image was shot using state-of-the-art, stereoscopic, high-resolution digital photography. When viewed with the “True Blood”-sponsored 3-D glasses included in this collector’s edition of the magazine, the image appears to jump off the page and come to life.
