Paving the Way

Hardware is one thing but the software that is needed is another ballgame altogether. For the technology to really work at its best the software (TV shows, movie formats or games) need to be compatible or made for the hardware.

This has spawned an entirely new industry and a great result has been the reality one can see especially in games. Doom 3, Half- Life 2 and even some sports based games like FIFA 06 are so realistic in their environment creation and character depiction that you could wonder if they are imitating you or you them! Even the physics in these games has reached a new level of realism and the gameplay experience is phenomenal.

But none of these could have ever worked had it not been for the open mindset of the consumer and his (or her) willingness to adapt to and wholly embrace the changes that have come about. This, more than anything, is the fillip that the developers need to continue on their quest for perfection.

While gaming has led the visual and Artificial Intelligence breakthroughs, the music industry has brought about earth shattering improvements in the aural experiences. Add to this the improving quality of our movies and TV and when you put them together, you have one fine pot-pourri that goes together as well as peas and carrots.

That, friends, is digital entertainment. Open your senses and feel the experience.
