Some of my friends keep telling me that 3D is only a buzz thing that will go away again, I must say I don’t think so, 3D although not as major a breakthrough as surround sound is fairly neat and once we get to the version without glasses people will be caught on the idea.. Myself, I don’t mind the glasses much, ok I do wear glasses daily and thus it’s same-same to me but the once they use at my local cinema tend to make things slightly darkish (it’s the Dolby once, those reusable once) – now I last year visited an IMAX cinema in China and those glasses were a LOT better though they tended to slip off the nose a bit.. so clearly 3D without glasses would be neat..
But how about this, a holographic display!? Now THAT sound NEAT like hell…

Do you recall years ago we saw this projection keyboard being showed off, often they were connected to handheld devices without a real keyboard. They would project a keyboard to a surface (eg. table) and you could they type on it by placing your finger where the corresponding letters were projected!?
Well the idea never really hit the shelf’s from what I could tell, at least I never saw a retail version – that is till now… ok ok, I admit I did not really look for one so they may have existed for some time, but now I came across one it seemed worth mentioning.
