Challenge For Ben

switchskillz
switchskillz over 12 years ago

Ok Ben here's your mission if you choose to accept:

 

We saw 3d TVs hit it big for a couple of years but after watching a few movies the magic was underwhelming, it wasn't until I played my first two player PS3 game sharing the whole real estate of the screen; by having special or hacked glass lenses, one set left eye polarization for both eyes and another set with the right polarization, as this only allows the viewer to see one image you get the whole screen each.

This had me thinking perhaps the technology is wasted for 3d imaging, if you could build a prodject with a two tv tuners that somehow was video mixed like split screen of a game and using the tv 3d function to view two different channels simultaneously on the same TV; of course the audio would have to be sent to wireless headphones so that there isnt complete confusion of mixed noise, maybe with the option of one audio channel going to speakers and the other the headphone which could be switched depending on the more popular show.

 

This would be great for familys and girlfriends who want to watch reality tv while those who want to watch a more educational or sci fi show, can at the same time!!!!!

 

This post will self destruct in five seconds

(Sorry just playing up to mission impossible style of my post wont happen again)

 

 

Regards

    That's a cool usage, I have to think it's already in some 3D TV's though? You'd need separate headphones of course.

     

    Reality is, 3D TV fad will probably fade away before this would ever get adopted as a mainstream feature.

    Not sure if any tv's have this feature would be kool but i can see that it would only be usefully to a few people maybe not the best challenge. loving the show keep up the inspiring builds and i'll be in touch when a challenge that you cant refuse pops in mind.
