Emerging Technologies Tetrad


Blog Tetrad of Three Dimensional Television (3-D TV) – Tim Weaver EDUC-7108

Enhancement
What does 3-D TV enhance (Hempell, 1996)?  The viewing of television is more realistic than ever before with an improved three dimensional realistic field for visuals with surround-sound.   



Retrieval
What does 3-D TV retrieve that had earlier been obsolesced (Hempell, 1996)?  Home theatre-like feel provides economic way for friends and family to enjoy movies.  Getting together to go to the movies can be done right in the living room.
Reversal
What will 3-D TV turn into when pushed to limits of potential (Hempell, 1996)? Normal television watching will consist of choices between 3-D and standard HDTV.  Eventually, HDTV falls to 3-D and 3-D as will fall to holographic television.




Obsolescence
What will 3-D TV erode to be obsolete (Hempell, 1996)?  HDTV will eventually fall to obsolescence as will 3-D with future improvements of 3-D and eventually holographic television.  


There are no doubts that television has certainly evolved into something quite spectacular since conception in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s.  In just over 80 years, the technology has changed at incredible length to the advancements TV offers today.  The transition from analog to digital formatting around the turn of the new millennium to what is now emerged and standardized High-Definition Television (HDTV) offers us TV like never before.  On the emerging end of TV today is 3-D imaging and promises of realism like never before.  Early reports claim from spectators this technology can convince the viewer objects exist outside of the flat screen (Digital Trends, 2012).  The tetrad for 3-D TV relays the representation of the emerging technology and what it has improved, retrieved, reversed, and relationships to obsolescence.  Basically, 3-D TV is set to most likely become popular and standardized and eventually replace HDTV.  A home-theatre will bring back economically attractive movie or entertainment nights to family/friends that used to frequent actual movie theatres.  Eventually, 3-D TV is challenged by holographic imaging and eventually pushed aside to make room for the futuristic medium.

Mr Scott Puopolo elaborates more on the future of television.

    Tim,

    After reading your post and viewing the video on "The Future of Television," I agree with Puopolo’s (2011) three future predictions:
    1. TV will become a broader sense of experience. This means that whatever you are viewing you will be able to feel a true experience or a reality of what is taking place.

    2. The concept of single TV devices will no longer exist. Multi-screening will become available anytime and anywhere.

    3. The movement from passive to more interaction. This will provide you as a viewer to become an active participant in what you are viewing. For instance, children are playing video games. They become active participants and the characters in the video games give advice which will increase your interactive experience.

    What are your thoughts or your future predictions of the television? Do you agree or disagree with Puopolo's views?

    Hi Tim,

    We just got an HDTV about a year ago (we're behind), and already my son is saying we need a 3D TV. I doubt we'll ever keep up with the innovations of television. In fact, I just saw my first movie (Men in Black 3) in IMAX 3D and it spoiled me from watching movies in regular format or just 3D. Once you've seen how good IMAX 3D is, you never will be content watching a movie any other way. That attraction is what drives the innovations, I believe, and also drives movie theaters and home theaters/televisions to compete with each other for the best movie-watching or gaming experience possible. The consumer wins! :)

    Tim,

    These new technologies just blow me away. Could you ever imagine ten years ago the thought of having a 3D tv???? Have you seen the new tv's that are voice activated? There is no need for a remote because you TALK to your tv!! I love these new innovations but it also makes me think about how much lazier America is going to become!

    Tim,

    That is remarkable when the ability to view objects outside the screen. People could experience the event from their own home without actually being there and not be in any type of danger of getting hurt by being surrounded by the experience. Eventually would will be able to ride a roller coaster and feel the experience from your own living room and not wait in any line.
