JAPAN: VIRTUAL REALITY TELEVISION BY 2020
Virtual Reality Television would allow people to view high-definition images in 3D from any angle, in addition to being able to touch and smell the objects being projected upwards from a screen parallel to the floor. Researchers are looking into ultrasound, electric stimulation and wind pressure as potential technologies for touch.
Japan plans to make this futuristic television a commercial reality by 2020. Future TV is part of a larger national project under which Japan aims to promote "universal communication".
