Within the last few years, watching movies in 3d has spread across America in movie theaters everywhere, but there was a catch…you needed to wear glasses to experience it.
Toshiba is now starting to release televisions that play in 3D that need NO outside glasses or accessories. Obviously it is expensive, as the starting price for the lowest model is around $1400, but not having to wear glasses to experience 3D TV could be worth it.
Aside from that, I start to question the future of television. It has been reported that in the not too distant future (even as soon as 2020) we will start to become more immersed in our entertainment. Video games will become more real than anything we have ever played before, and even a fully functional synthetic brain is rumored to become constructed.
The distinction between reality and synthetic reality could become harder and harder for us to judge as time continues.
Obviously the opportunities and possibilities in the future are infinitive, but at what cost to our existence? Maybe it's a little unnecessarily deep, but still interesting to think about nonetheless.
What do you guy's think?

I think it would be a great idea to make these tvs without the glasses. I love a 3D movie every once and a while but I feel like it would be such a pain to have to wear those glasses any time you wanted to watch something.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I feel about 3D television. For certain movies and sporting events, it might be quite nice. However, I tend to enjoy the simplicity of a regular old flat screen in Hi-def, haha.
