Next to the Flying Car itself, the technological development that I'm keenest on is probably the Really Good TV. I see HDTV and plasma screens, and I think, yes, we're getting there.
But now read this:
A prototype digital video system producing images of such high quality that the human eye struggles to distinguish them from reality has been developed by Japanese engineers.
The system, called ultra high definition video (UHDV), achieves image resolution 16 times greater than even the most advanced video broadcasting technologies now available.
Its developers at the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) said the system could be used to provide an ultra realistic 'immersive' viewing experience when, for example, showing sporting events.
"Immersive." I like the sound of that.
