New TV screen tech allows games and shows to appear simutaneously
The new type of LCD display will show two different images, depending on where the audience is sitting.
From Times Online, "Equipped with DualView a British technology designed at Sharpגs laboratories in Oxford a flat-screen TV can be showing EastEnders to everyone sitting on the right-hand side of the sofa, while those on the left (and listening with headphones) could be playing a video game or watching the snooker. The crucial factor is the angle from which the viewer is watching the screen."
"The screen has been designed so that the two angles are well within the bounds of normal viewing behaviour. At about 3ft from the screen, two people sitting just a foot apart would see different pictures. And in each case, the image would occupy the full screen."
"That would make a big difference to video games, since if two people were playing they could both see the full screen rather than have to put up with the present arrangement of splitting it in half."
