So why is this news?

6ft by 150 inches: measuring up to the world's biggest plasma TV - Independent Online Edition > Science & Tech

Well think of it. Right now movie theaters are using projections...the images are okay but still rather fuzzy. the screens are HUGE so the buildings have to be huge too.

Now what if you can have a theater that is maybe half as high but just as long. with the right technology every seat in the house will have a clear image even if you need to get a stiff neck.

But since you won't need as high a ceiling you can now add a second level to your theater and increase the number of screens you show on.

You wouldn't need the projection room--it would be replaced by a series of dvd players in the managers office.

It has its possibility.
