NASA's Mega Video
According to MIT's Technology Review, researchers from Imaging Solutions Group and NASA have put together a camera and a display that "displays full-motion video at nearly human-visual-system resolution."
The camera shoots at 30 fps at 8.3 million pixels (which is 4x current HDTV resolution)! A person with 20/20 vision standing a couple of feet from the screen "see a view that is arguably equivalent to looking through a window."
The system will be ready for use in 6 to 9 months. The real question is when will I be able to watch football games on it in my living room?
