1 Microsoft's PlayAnywhere

PlayAnywhere is Microsoft's prototype technology that can turn any flat surface into an interactive visual display. When users touch the surface, computer vision technology is used to sense and identify other objects placed on it, such as game pieces.

2. Sharp's 2-View Display

 When parallax barriers are overlaid on normal TFT-LCD, these displays from Sharp can show different information simultaneously depending on the user’s viewing angle.

3. Multi-touch 3D Display

University of Toronto students Tovi Grossman, Daniel Wigdor, and Ravi Balakrishnan developed this "multi-finger gestural interaction with 3D display" technology.

4. FOLED - Flexible OLED Display

FOLED is an organic light-emitting device built on a flexible substrate such as plastic or metal foil.

5. Largest HDTV

The screen uses Mitsubishi's AuroraVision LED technology, measuring 11.2 meters (37 feet) by 66.4 meters (218 feet), with a surface area of 744 square meters (8,000+ square feet), equivalent to three tennis courts, or the size of 1,550 stacked 32-inch TVs.

6. HoloVizio - True 3D Display

Holografika's "HoloVizio" is the next generation of 3D presentation technology. No special glasses are required to view the 3D images directly with the naked eye, allowing observers to walk around the screen and see objects and shadows continuously change in a wide field of view with normal perspective.
