Contributing nobly to the great genre of device that stops children from rioting in museums, Matsushita Electric Works has come up with a 3D display system that processes MPEG or AVI video files and throws them onto a 1.8 m diameter dome screen. You need a different video for the left and right “eyes”, and yes, you do need to wear a pair of funny glasses to get the 3D; it also requires three networked PCs working behind the scenes to stop your flat video going all bendy when it hits the screen. You can ignore all that dry stuff, though, because they hint that it may be possible to play games on it, which would justify its existence at a stroke.
