    It can project an all-encompassing movie - edge to edge.

    Ugh, I think I've mentioned this before but in college we had to come up with an invention. Mine was a way to film a movie in (almost) 360 degrees so that a user can put on a headset (or go into a large 360 auditorium) and look in any direction they want to watch the movie and feel "part" of a scene. This kind of reminds me of that.

    Disney did that when I was a kid. It was a 360 screen that you stood in the middle of the room. Very cutting edge for its time, around 1967.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            I don't remember that. But I'll check the glovebox today, if it turns up it's all yours.

            Please love yourself.

                    It does look a little like Apple have identified their target market as people with way more money than sense a significant disposable income, and are acting accordingly.

                    I was only joking

                      A really good headset could be a real game changer for the way we live.

                      How so?

                          I read an article that Apple may have set the price so high because they dont want to sell too many, at least not initially. Want to get a large library of apps, etc, make sure all the technology is working well, and then will probably introduce a lower priced model.
