Panasonic's interactive TV wall, the demo Just like all other international companies, Panasonic thinks about our future on a daily basis and they try to come up today with tomorrow's tools. It's clear to everybody that the TV, IT and Internet have a key place in our everyday lives today. Panasonic based themselves on this statement to develop an interactive TV wall. with a touch sensitive screen that has the surface of two 110" TV's (you just need a big house or share the TV with your neighbour). This wall not only enables you to watch TV, but also to surf on the Internet, read emails, listen to music and even see who's ringing your doorbell. Since it's a touch sensitive screen, it gives you the interactivity to play some basketball or even practice your piano skills on the screens, as shown on the video. An unusual TV also needs an unusual remote control, and as you can see, it looks more like a GameCube pad than a real remote. Images and sound say sometimes more than just some words, so here are 4 minutes of video, available in HDTV and Flash, that give a complete overview of this product.
