February 11, 2007Viewing needs of the future?
As visual information is the fastest way to receive data (unfourtanately we can’t send information through the eyes efficently yet), we are using it more often we can imagine. Nowadays most of the visual information through the deffirent screens - mobiles, PC-s, TV-s, screens in the supermarkets or in public transport.
It’s quite obviuos that screens are here to stay but there are some aspects that are going to be change:
- Disapearing of physical screens. Holographic projection can be used for simple 2D projection or deep 3D views. Disadvantage of this projection is weak resolution and thats why it still can’t be used for works which requires high resolution screens.
- Wider use of all kinds of video projectors. There are already projectors for mobile devices and that means we can use them everywhere it is needed.
Screens, which are for personal use, like screens of the mobile phones and pocket PC-s, are maintaining their size for a while. Smaller screens are too hard to follow and bigger screens don’t fit to our pockets.
Hold your horses, mr. Designer. Did you just say that screens are going to stay only for personal use? What about professional?

I ment that screens, which are used in TV-s, PC-s etc are turning to projected screens, which increases their portability.
Disapearing of physical screens - it’s more like long-term prediction and last two sentences are for next 5 years, for example.
