Holographic TV


Even in the last decade the humble TV has come a long way. TV sets keep changing. We now have better images, flatter screens and new features. TVs are still rapidly evolving and it is only fair to think that we will be getting holographic TV’s.

"Japanese tech-heads revealed proposals to FIFA this week to host the 2022 World Cup, offering with it holographic broadcast to the globe.  The Japanese have proposed to capture all 360 degrees of World Cup matches using up to 200 HD cameras, the footage from which then be used to project life like full 3D images onto genuine football fields over the world". http://www.techhive.com/article/196844/Japan_Proposes_Global_Holographic_World_Cup_Broadcast.html

The matches would be shown on giant screens or, if technological advances in coming years allow, projected like a real match onto the pitch itself, giving viewers the illusion of watching the real thing. While the idea seems something out of a science fiction film, the hope is to have the technology in place by 2016. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gNVZsxBSbgXx268O16flQfqXOs_w

This is quite mouth watering really, I could watch a game at Waikato Stadium as if it was happening right in front of my eyes, where actually the game is taking place in Japan. We will have holographic players moving around the field.
