The Future is NOW

LCDs and Plasma displays are starting to become common and outdated, while other promising technologies, such as integrated laser displays, are still out of consumers reach. Holographic displays seem to be SF-like for now. But wait a minute, what's with this custom built 80" glass holographic television? This revolutionary holographic rear projection screen was pioneered for expensive window displays and corporate 3D spectacular product launches for renowned industry leaders like BMW and Honda. Nonetheless, holographic displays tend to become available for mass production. What the picture above shows is the very "first in the world." This custom built 80" Holographic System is designed to celebrate the launch of UberCoolHome at the start of 2007. It is HDTV-ready and its holographic screen is seamlessly matted from custom cut glass to produce an 80-inch wide screen television. And, the patented technology works by trapping light at a certain angle, allowing you to project onto the holographic screen, but all other ambient light just passes through it. This literally gives the effect of having the image hover in the air, in front of the impressive display.

And, when the projector is switched off, the television looks just like a normal glass pane. The display can be connected to your satellite system, Playstation, XBOX, DVD player or anything else to experience them on a whole new level. The ultimate Television might just be yours for throw-away prices with starting bid at ?5,500 on eBay and a 40″ glass projection television retails at ?14,999 over at Harrods in the UK.
