Not too long ago, tubes were the standard way of showing moving pictures. Then came the LCD/Plasma revolution. Screens are getting both bigger (42″ seems the new standard for TVs, while it was 22″ not so long before) and smaller (just see the new 2″ iPod nano or pinable video). Now you can have a film on any wall — or in any pocket.

Electronic paper seems to be coming closer to production. One day I guess we will have animated cereal boxes…

Holographic storytelling

A new, holographic technology allows to display images in thin air. While the quality is still not quite there yet, this is certainly a very exciting technology:

It will be very interesting to see if this technology requires a different format for telling stories.

Now imagine if you could combine these two technologies - holographic movies and interactivity, and a whole new world of storytelling evolves. I imagine some sort of combination between a film storyline and computer games.

The future is certainly looking interesting.
