The Goal: Make 3D television by 2020
Imagine watching a football match on a TV that not only shows the players in three dimensions but also lets you experience the smells of the stadium and maybe even pat a goalscorer on the back. All this sounds really far fetched, but in Japan they are getting a budget together to make it all happen. Personally I am still saving up for an LCD or Plasma TV, so by the time I have enough in the back the 3D TV’s will be out anyway.
The targeted “virtual reality” television would allow people to view high-definition images in 3D from any angle, in addition to being able to touch and smell the objects being projected upwards from a screen parallel to the floor.
“Can you imagine hovering over your TV to watch Japan versus Brazil in the finals of the World Cup as if you are really there?” asked Yoshiaki Takeuchi, director of research and development at Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
