'Surround vision' takes viewers beyond TV screen

[dfergie]

The folks at the MIT Media Lab have developed a new system called surround vision that can let you follow objects outside of your regular TV screen by viewing them on smartphones and handheld Internet devices. Imagine you're watching a movie on your regular TV, and a car drives off the screen. You could follow and view that car as it drives away by looking at and pointing your smartphone or tablet in its direction.

Sounds like a great effect for a movie. I can see a futuristic movie device now. Not practical in real life, but would look good on the big screen.
