Future Holographic Projection Movies - Turn The World On Its Head, What Is a Good Ceiling For?

In the future, your living room will become a virtual-reality playground for multimedia entertainment. It will include holographic projection and spectral imaging. Why do I say this you ask? It's simple, because as the founder of a think tank, we spend quite a bit of time looking ahead into the future, and we are hardly alone. For instance, IBM has invested $5 billion over the next 5 to 10 years on holographic projection technology. If you doubt it is coming, believe me it is, and it's coming to a living room near you. Okay so let's talk about this shall we?

Now then, I know you are probably one of the hundreds of millions of Americans who now watches your TV and cable movies and DVDs on a large flat panel display. Consider if you will that 5 to 10 years ago those really didn't exist at a price point where the average American could even afford one. Today they are in nearly every home. It will be the same for holographic spectral imaging in the future. You might think this is all science fiction, but I guarantee you it is our future. Not only will it be used for living room entertainment, but also for simulation and training, and for education in our schools.

Okay so, this throws a huge loop in the world of filmmaking, it gets even crazier when you consider that much of the holographic projection will come from the ceiling, after all you can't put it on the floor without disrupting your furniture, and it will probably need to come from multiple points within your living room to make it work properly, and for you to get the full effect. This means your entertainment experience will fill the room, it might also cause couch potatoes to get a sore neck looking around at their new creative environment, and virtual-reality viewing.

Does this mean your living room will need to be rewired, that is to say you will need recessed holographic projection equipment in your ceiling? Yes, that might be required, or perhaps a set of mirrors can be mounted onto the ceiling to redirect the photons of light to create the images and the lifelike virtual-reality experience to allow you to suspend your belief system so you can enjoy the best entertainment system money can buy in the near future. Indeed if you'd like to discuss this at a much higher level you may shoot me an e-mail. Until then, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
