A Vision of Displays of the Future

Abstract

Electronic display is a young technology. Only for a few decades have such displays been in common use. Now many applications provide 0.5-1 million picture element (megapixel) visual interfaces in two-dimensions with acceptable grayscale, frame rate, and so forth. However, the human visual system is capable of more than 1,000 megapixels (1 gigapixel) in three-dimensions. Thus, much opportunity remains. A vision of how fast we may close this gap during the next decade, century, and millennium is presented.
