There were many appealing booths at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but Sharp's iWall display took the "awe" factor and ran in my book.
The iWall uses four walls of screens to display consistent imaging with each other to make you feel as if you were inside a television.
This booth was the most intriguing of all the demonstrations at the Woodstock of electronic conventions
People stood beside the booth and looked on as if they were taken aboard a ride at Disney World.
3D technology is what the industry has decided is next for the future of television, but this demonstration makes 3D TV look like what high definition picture quality does to black-and-white displays.
The Sharp representatives at the event said that the iWall will be moved to "ground zero" later this year as part of the memorial for the September 11th tragedy.
When I asked the representatives if this technology has been thought about being integrated in movie theaters they said no, but "anything is possible."
The iWall looks like something out of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.
Although there are many electronics and innovations that have grabbed "the cool factor" out of this electronics lover during the 2011 CES, Sharp's iWall definitely goes above all others and grasps "the awe factor."
