the playa has been littered with technology advances ever since it became the darling of the digirati..
well here's just another example...
remember those ping pong balls in an array that started wowing burners a few years back and has come to be known as Cubitron?
well, it's the basis for a new generation of tv's coming down the pipe in the not too distant future involving 3-d and x-y-z axis pixels that will allow the viewer not only a sense of depth but 360 degree rotation as well.
Princess Leia popping up and begging obi-Wan for help is just a couple years away folks.
What have YOU seen on the playa that has advanced into a mainstream or defense tech, that started out as something cool to do or see while on LSD?

Simon's article mentioned ESPN as well.
I think that these still require 3D glasses.

[quote]As with 3D cinema, the viewing of 3D TV in the home will require special glasses. Cable delivered 3D video works equally well with displays using active shutter glasses and with displays using passive polarized glasses,â€

Until you exchange bodily fluids, it's acceptable to shop around.
