Over a picture of a groovy "full 360-degree view" head-mounted Toshiba display, The Daily Mail asks: "Is this the way we will all be 'enjoying' our television programmes and computer games in the future??"
Comment: Since you ask, no. However, it does make you wonder what's going on at The Daily Mail. Exactly how do they think you can see a 360 degree display? At best, given a dome-shaped fish-eye screen, you mght see 180 degrees or even more, but most of us don't have eyes in the backs of our heads. (Projecting a real 360 degree display from a point source is a bit tricky, especially if there's a human head in the way, but so is making spherical LCD screens.)
Perhaps the Mail has its calendar mixed up and thinks it's April 1, or perhaps the Mail's site has been hacked, or perhaps someone from Toshiba (or pretending to be from Toshiba) has pulled off a great jape. I'd rather believe any of those than think this is the real thing.
If you feel witty, they are having a caption competition at Engadget.
