Future of Visual Gadgets Rolled Out

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-into-the-future dept.

unassimilatible writes "A television sewn into your shirt sleeve. A dashboard screen to monitor the kids in the back seat. A 3-D computer monitor sharp enough to make a hardcore gamer's heart stop - or help a surgeon start one. The gizmo-packed exhibition hall at the Society for Information Display's international symposium offers a tantalizing vision of what's to come, AP reports (with some cool pics)."

  1. Sounds Good by lachlan76 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But what would you use a tv on your jeans for?
    In any case I can't wait to get one of those 3D screens.
    One thing I would like to know is what would happen when you use the screen without the eye-tracking? Wouldn't it go out of focus or have an unnatural appearance when your head moves.
    Hopefully these obstacles will be overcome soon.

  2. When would we see these displays? by vijaya_chandra · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The best mode to read, as anyone would agree is paper-based, be it a book or a newspaper.

    The cheap displays that can be inserted into the newspapers with short clips for the different news items or some illustration (in case of a book) that start getting played as you flip through different sheets would be ultra-cool.

    (some spielberg movie already had a newspaper like this i guess)

    When would I (/can expect to) get a copy of such books/newspapers?
