What the well-dressed young person is wearing today
According to The Daily Mail this is a new gadget from Toshiba "that enables the wearer to experience a full 360-degree view on a 40 centimetre dome-shaped screen."
The Guardian's Jack Schofield is not convinced.
Exactly how do they think you can see a 360 degree display? At best, given a dome-shaped fish-eye screen, you might see 180 degrees or even more, but most of us don't have eyes in the backs of our heads. (Projecting a real 360 degree display from a point source is a bit tricky, especially if there's a human head in the way, but so is making spherical LCD screens.)
Let's hope he's right. Here at YouthNet we're only just getting to grips with putting our websites on mobile phones. Making them visible through 360 degrees might take a little work.
