6-D display system - MIT researches want to pull a Houdini on you

Don't you hate it when you get the wrong seat in a cinema hall? The images of the actors all look skewed in wrong angles and it gets worst if you got the 'All the way front' seat in the house. Take the case of some flat screens that refuse to show you a clear image when you're sitting in the wrong angle. Apart from breaking your neck looking up you can easily hasten losing the most precious sense before your time- the sense of sight. There is something coming your way that will change the way you look at images on the screen as well as the cinema. The brilliant people from MIT are working on a new display technology that will provide us with 6 Dimensional images that will blow your mind. Not only will they immerse you with the visuals, it will respond to surrounding light by providing accurate shadows and change over time without any help from expensive electronic gadgetry, but plain optical illusions. We all know of 3D images and movies which use those awful two color glasses, with 6-D these MIT hopefuls want to change the way we think of optical interactivity.

The 6D display technology is currently just being tested and is in a very rudimentary state as it is being built by hand from custom-made parts. It costs around $30 per pixel to make, but obviously whenever this technology is perfected we may never need to worry of getting the corner seat in a cinema equipped with 6D view technology.
