My prediction is that the next BIG must have hardware/software combo will be the mobile device which has a mini hdmi output, ie audio + video, and is 3D codec compatible. This is mated to a pair of LCD 3D compatible goggles + earphones. IMO there is probably only 2 or 3 companies who could pull it off well, and unfortunately Apple would make the sexist version and be 90% on target; the two biggest complaints will be that only 3D movies purchased thru iTunes will work and they didn't go with hdmi but made their own propriety connector - citing the need to run power down the cable as it will be the only way to charge the goggles ;-( Imagine jumping on a plane, plugging your iPhone into the in-seat power supply, donning your goggles and sitting back to enjoy AVATAR on a screen bigger than IMAX :-) The idea of LCD goggles has been around for ages, but the screen resolution has never been there. With all the mobile devices with tiny screen these days, that hurdle is virtually crossed. Cinemas see 3D as it saviour, to get people coming back. AVATAR on 3.5" is pathetic, on a big screen at home, its good, in 3D at the cinema, it's breathtaking. Of course my idea will be the cinema's Judas. Well that's probably taken this waaaay off topic. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
