Will website design undergo a major overhaul in the next few years?
3-D TV’s are now being widely advertised, promising a colorful, realistic experience that rivals the movie theater, allowing you to put on your glasses and step into another world, almost inserted in the middle of your favorite soccer match, horror movie or detective show reruns. Personally, wearing two pairs of glasses while watching TV isn’t quite my cup of tea, but if they come out with a 3-D version of my contacts, I’ll definitely jump on the bandwagon. Fortunately various companies are working on 3D glasses free versions of 3DTV.
And now, because of the huge successes in 3-D movies, LG is releasing 3-D desktop computers and notebooks in Seoul, Korea. Asus and Samsung are also heavily staked in this trend. It’s an interesting idea that could revolutionize gaming, online television as well as graphics. The polarized glasses are again required, and in order for 3-D technology on PC screens to be at its best, others would have to comply: video game designers and programmers alike.
Here lies my question(s).
Would people begin creating alternate, 3-D friendly versions of their website, graphics with an emphasis on the multidimensional? I wonder how this will change the way people set up their website, and if it will drive more traffic, and promote more searches. There are already pseudo 3-D graphics, but the real thing could create a much more involved experience.
Who will be the first to start the trend? Will it be the big retailers offering a new way for people to try on clothes online (Apple might already have something in the works), or will it be car and motorcycle manufactures offering an up close and personal view of their merchandise? I’ll be interested to see 3D monitors and notebook trends take off, and in the meanwhile, I’ll be searching for 3-D customized contact lenses while making my 3-D friendly Millennium Systems logo.
