Future developments

Hello Again,

Where Dusty originally talked about Holography up above. It seems CNN was on a similar vibe during the Tuesday election coverage.

Here's a video segment of their version of Holography with a green room and 40 Hi-Def cameras.

Here's an article posted on CNN back on Oct. 7th of this year on the topic of the technology in general. Article Link.

And what might these holographic televisions look like?

According to Peyghambarian, they could be constructed as a screen on the wall (like flat panel displays) that shows 3-D images, with all the image writing lasers behind the wall; or it could be like a horizontal panel on a table with holographic writing apparatus underneath.

So, if this project is realized, you really could have a football match on your coffee table, or horror-movie villains jumping out of your wall.
Peyghambarian is also optimistic that the technology could reach the market within five to ten years. He said progress towards a final product should be made much more quickly now that a rewriting method had been found.

Five to ten years sounds awfully good which it was like five years ago when we heard video games would appear like that Final Fantasy Movie that bombed at the box office. In another 5 to 10 years from that point in time and we're still waiting. Electronic games haven't even gotten to look like rendered trailer movies. Even though the technology has made leaps and bounds since 5 years ago.

Maybe its more of a software issue than a hardware one in terms of nailing down a solid photo realistic enhanced environment for general game play?
