Sharp Producing Two-Way TV
This goes far beyond picture-in-picture and split-screen!
Sharp has developed a new LCD television that can "simultaneously display different information and image content in right and left views in a single unit." In other words, if you want to watch hockey and your buddy wants to watch figure skating, you sit to the left of the television, and s/he sits on the right side of the television. You're both watching the same television, but you see completely different programs.
Controlling the viewing angle . . . allows the information or visual content to be tailored to multiple users viewing the same screen. For example, one user can view the display as a PC screen for browsing the Internet or for editing video shot using a digital camera (IT) while at the same time another user watches video content such as a movie or a TV broadcast (A/V). This ability to enjoy two functions in a single unit in full-screen size will contribute to achieving a full-fledged convergence of digital home electronics A/V and IT.
According to Sharp's press release, mass production begins this month! Have you pre-ordered yours yet?
Now, instead of fighting over what you watch, you get to fight over who hears their show!
