I've wanted to watch a Broadway play in my living room that was indistinguishable from being in the theater for close to thirty years. I'm excited because this is the closest technology that I've seen that could make this possible.

But I'm saddened if this is really the Apple II version of this technology because if it takes another forty years I probably won't live to see it. Always imagined that there would be sensors on the floor and ceiling, not watching it in a glass box but if that's how it has to be I'm OK with it.



In 40 years since Apple II, technology has doubled roughly 26 Moore's, or moresies.

The same shift now-a-days should take only a year and half (40 / 26), which is about how long it would take if you bought 64 Looking Glasses and built a DIY array, and used ML to construct a 3D video from a 2D one, a la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_reconstruction_from_multipl...
