Contact lens television within 10 years ?

I remember when I was around 12 yrs old and reading Popular Mechanics I believe it was and they were making predictions about future technology. This was 35 yrs ago and they said that by the turn of the century (please correct me if I'm wrong PM) instead of TV sets, we'd have entertainment rooms with 360* holographics where we could watch a show as if the characters were actually there. We would be able to walk around it and view it from different angles. They also said we would be able to control our favorite characters to do what we wanted them to do or make a show go as we want it to go (th... [More]

That's not going to be good for your eyes.
