I remember a year or so ago watching on TV that a new TV was in development in Japan. That TV could host up to four different programs running on the same TV. It acted sort of like those pictures where if you look at them from different angles are actually different. They said ideally four people sitting at four different positions from the TV could all watch different programs on the same TV. Other TV's have also offered up to two people able to watch different programs on the same TV.  The one flaw was the audio.

Yes, in "viewing sweatspots", but that defeats the 3D experience with headtracking. It looks so good because you can lean around and look at the object from several sides.. that TV probably doesn't have enough horizontal/vertical viewing angle for that. It's very similar tech as the autostereoscopic screens.

Also you mention the camera needing to be fast, the Wiimote worked perfectly fine but that used LED's which would require a headset. But something like Natal for example should be more then sufficient.

Uhm, yes, if you can live with ~100-150ms input lag it should be fine. For a more natural experience I'd like it to have sub 40ms.

Now yes this TV would cost like 5-6k to buy but imagine a TV with four different view points and 4 seperate camera's that each focus on one persons head. Actually Natal is supposed to be able to do full motion capture of multiple people at a time it could perhaps even track all four.


That TV would be far more impressive then 3DTV.

I agree, but as I said, I doubt it would work with existing tech
