Harrods Sells Holographic TV
beuh_dave writes "Harrods is selling a holographic TV, CLARO, for £15,000. The Holoscreen is a revolutionary holographic film which displays any image fed through a projector at a specific angle on to a transparent display. All other light is ignored. The result is a remarkably bright and sharp image quality - even in brightly lit environments."
Carry on. If you need me, I'll be in the holodeck.

I like how 'Harrods' in the summary's URL is misspelt, but that it's a redirect to the real 'harrods.com'. Pre-emptive Slashdot Editor protection! :-)
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
Does anyone want to bother looking up the term hologram in the dictionary....when I think of a holographic TV I don't think of a flat surface displayed onto a tangable object you could easily break if you breath on it the wrong way when it falls over.
When I think of a hologram I think of being able to throw my beer through my TV next time I see a horrible excuse of a football game...
I'll believe in it when I see it in John Lewis.

Wow. Do we really talk like this? No wonder my wife never understands what I'm saying.
"hey Fred, if we get rid of the big box surrounding these old rear projection tv's, Jack the price way up and call em something fancy, I'll bet we can finally sell these things off"
"Great Idea Barney! Let's call 'em 'Hollow Graphic'. No! No! Wait! I got it Holographic! No one will know the difference!"
"Yea Fred there's a sucker born every minute."
"You got that right Barney. Now lets see what we can think up for all these foam tiles these old tv's came packed in."
"Wait a minute Fred! I already sold those to NASA as shuttle repair kits. You won't believe what they paid me for them!", Fred gives Barney a big High Five.
