The Ultimate Immersive Experience



Just as the television industry started to experience a downturn effect when competing with the internet, it hit the jackpot with two groundbreaking novelties.


It's difficult to face a medium like the internet. So immersive, engaging, and interactive, the internet has always welcomed much creative participation as well as the "bottom-up-economy." Especially with new social modes coming up constantly, the internet sucks up most peoples' attention span and extra time. Attempting to keep sane in our ever so busy lives, people love to be in the driver's seat and admire the ability to choose news happenings, shows, and activities solely based on their preferences and needs. Just as we thought that television would remain left on the backburner, it returns with an intense comeback!


This year is definitely one of the best to splurge on a new TV set. Now not only does TV bring reality to your living room with HD or Blu-Ray, yet it fulfills the state of total immersion with 3D systems. Samsung introduced its whole new TV species to stores a couple weeks ago, the Samsung Led TV. People feel as if they can almost touch the images off the screen. Yes, highly advanced 3D systems... yet internet accessibility too?! With internet connectivity, TV viewers can also check their email, social-networking sites, weather, Netflix, eBay, you name it! Who needs to go to the Blockbuster store anymore when you can stream videos right from their website.





Of course, the TV set is quite the investment (especially since it just came out). There are a few devices, such as the 3D player and 3D eyewear, as well as 3D content needed for this system to maneuver, yet simply the concept is what we need to digest.


What we really are seeing here is the merging of technologies/media of which we will most likely continue to experience over the next few years. The more we can get rid of excess portals and compress many programs into one, the more our lives will become convenient and simplified.
