Technology Super Hi-Vision

It looks pretty cool. I'll be visiting a presentation of this technology on tuesday. I wonder what kind of screen will they use.

If you don't know what it is it's a video format that comes in a "pretty high" resolution. To give it a better perspective it looks like this:

Video will be streamed from Japan - it requires a 30gbit/s fiber-optic cable.

wow. that sounds like it will be bad ass.
Why are they presenting it to you?
Are you in your career already?

Too late! THAT'S already been rendered obsolete with the announcement of New Super Mega-Multi Hi-Vision Deluxe 3.0 with Extreme Turbo Enhancement!

Kidding. Looking forward to your feedback on it.

No, they're presenting it at my university. They're all crazy about new and cool technologies.

How did it go?

Quite cool. Not really THAT cool though. Full HD is sharp enough to me for a TV and even on a much bigger screen it's hard to spot the difference from a few meters. It would be easy to spot on an Imax screen looking at a close distance probably but not at home.
Imo they should forget the resolution war and pick a different path now. For movies and games high resolution makes the process of creating material way more expensive and Full Hd is really enough unless you want a 70< inch TV and watch it from 2-3 meters.

I'd love to play my video games at that resolution. lol

I was wondering what happened.
Perhaps they know this and that's why they are going to 3D everywhere now.
