New Technologies


Hardware and Software Development







Surround sound was just the beginning. Flexible, superthin light-emitting-polymer displays have evolved to the point where your dream home theater is now a room within a television. The slim, pliable flat panel - a seamless wall covering that extends around you - pulls in whatever you want to watch via wireless satellite feed. Now that's a wrap.

I have reaserch on forthcoming technology designs and ideas. A website I came across (link shown above)

Now, it is stated in the link above, that the roll-up polymer screen is simply a product for a wishlist for the oncoming decade to pass. However, I personally feel there is a long wait for technology such as this to be commercialised and have no doubt it will be. On the other hand, looking at the future of hardware in regards to screen technology I do think that we will see much more portable polymer screens for the use of people on the go, such as those who like to work on a larger scale rather than limited to 17inch laptops or their PDA's .

I beleive a technology such as this has a real potential and judging from this I can comfortally predict a polymer screen where information displayed on the screen will be fed via a globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency from also another portable desktop pc/ notebook most likely in the size of a 60GB iPod video
