"If you're looking for the wow factor in your living room, look no further. The Claro holographic TV (£14,999 plus £9,999 for matching speakers) is one of the most eye-catching consumer devices I've ever seen. It's also unique in the way that it delivers video using a transparent glass TV and media system based on holographic technology. The projection system is actually a revolutionary holographic film which displays any image fed through a projector at a specific angle onto a transparent display. The clever part is that all other light is ignored, which should result is a remarkably bright and sharp 40-inch image - even in brightly lit environments. The screen is a mere 1.5x1.0m rectangle of 10mm glass with a 610x814mm sheet of translucent film attached to it, giving the impression that the image is suspended in mid-air."



I have to admit, this looks really cool! 8) But at just under $30,000 it is way out of reach for most people. I'd also be worried about glare on the glass getting in the way of a good picture as well as the space required to fit the system. For that price, it would have to be perfect and I doubt this is.

One small step closer to a holodeck.

Um...why do those speakers look like riot shields? Is that to fend off the hordes that will want to steal your 30K TV? 8O :lol:

Seriously, I want this. I have these massive 6 feet X 3 feet Carver speakers that I want to get rid of and this would make the perfect replacement.

That is a lot of money for a projectorscreen. I hope the projector itself is included and that it is a very good one.

Come to think of it, it's a back-projection TV! Without the prism, so you can't put it near a wall.

So it's a piece of sand-blasted glass. Not so impressed anymore.

No you're confused. Those are Gungan Shields.
