The Sharp booth contains a very interesting display, the Information Intelligent Imaging Wall or i3 Wall (pronounced “i-triple wall”). Many are comparing the display of high-definition TV screens to the 3D holographic “Holodeck” from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Sharp has lined three walls, the floor, and the ceiling with sixty 60-inch LCD displays calibrating a series of videos that project an immersive environment. If you stand close, so the room fills your field of vision, it can be a spectacular, vertigo-inducing experience.
The sweetspot for viewing is at the midpoint of the bar that keeps people from walking into the space.
The theme park and entertainment possibilities with the i3 Wall are endless, but if you’re thinking about setting one up in your home get ready for a second mortgage. The i3 Wall starts in the half a million range.
