Scientist: Holographic television to become reality
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Picture this: you're sat down for the Football World Cup final, or a long-awaited sequel to the "Sex and the City" movie and you're watching all the action unfold in 3-D on your coffee table.
It sounds a lot like a wacky dream, but don't be surprised if within our lifetime you find yourself discarding your plasma and LCD sets in exchange for a holographic 3-D television that can put Cristiano Ronaldo in your living room or bring you face-to-face with life-sized versions of your gaming heroes.
Life-size 3-D images. Imagine the possibilities... Okay, enough of that, this is a family blog... (okay, not really, but work with me).
I had to laugh at this part, though:
Peyghambarian said there are no major sponsors of the technology at present, but as the breakthroughs continued, he hopes that will change.
Even if no major electronics company commit themselves, there is hope that backers could come from outside of the consumer electronics industry, he said.
Pffft. Trek geeks alone would be more than happy to pony up any capital you needed to get this underway. Hell, if it weren't for horny geeks with disposable income we wouldn't have seen the advances in video and computer graphics...
That is all.
