3D "Crystal Ball" Monitors
glesga_kiss writes "Actuality Systems have issued a press release announcing sales of their 3D display technology, as reported by Yahoo Finance. The system works similar to an old spining disk optical illusion, except that the 21st century version produces an image that can change through the use of digital projection. In this case the screen is a rotating disk that is capable of producing light at any point that it passes through. The upshot is that you get a real 3D representation of your object, that can be viewed from 360 degrees around the display, without the need for any special goggles. Not quite ready for Hollywood, but the scientific and engineering communities have some obvious uses for it already..."
If you just look at the history of the cinema, you will find that your statement is quite false. Film is built upon rapidly evolving technology. Careers have been destroyed by standing opposed to this natural evolution. Not to nitpick at ya. But don't worry. The stories won't change. Just the way they are told will continue to evolve.
