Dave and Barb offer two vastly different sets of wishes... Dave and Barb gave very different answers to my questions about what people want in new displays. Dave has plenty of room for a big, voluminous TV, but would like longer battery life for his notebook computer. Barb wants everything in the world we can possibly imagine...except a head mounted display. My own wishes are driven in part by my excellent vision... the optical kind. Many people think that 20/20 means "perfect". All it means is average acuity. Mine is about three times better than that. It turns out that good vision is a blessing in the real world; but a curse in the virtual one. Because I can see the many imperfections in the focus and alignment of even the best CRTs, I am excited by the perfect focus and alignment of most FPD designs. Of course I also want three times the resolution of a typical XGA (1024x768) screen. Like Barb, I also want the smart rooms with programmable displays all over the walls. Ferroelectric displays might be perfect for quick redecoration. And you wouldn't need lights. Just tell the ceiling to display the Sun and the moon. Bad optics will limit head mounted displays for a while longer, but I think they will eventually catch on. The wearable computer will be common in another decade. -bob mackey
