The Future of Television


T-Visionarium II: A channel surfer's dream come true

You're handed a pair of plastic, smoke-colored 3-D glasses and suddenly, hundreds of digital television images begin to swirl around you on a 360-degree movie screen that's 11 feet high. Twelve projectors display images on the screen; six showing images for your right eye, six for your left.

With the push of a remote control, you can select which of up to 22,000 programs you want to watch. With each selection you make, a computer identifies other programs you might also enjoy and arranges them within your line of sight.

The technology "allows you to reassemble television or any digital data according to your own particular preferences," Del Favero said at a recent demonstration in Sydney.
