5 Technologies That Are About To Die


#2 The Mouse and Remote Controls

In near future the cost of adding capacitive touch capability to screens will be so small that every display, from large-screen TVs to laptops, will have it. Though touch pads and mouse won’t see an immediate extinction, there are gradually fade away.

When it comes to remote controls they too are likely to get replaced by either use of Smartphones to control a television set or by a combination of gestures and voice commands to change channels.

#1 3D Glasses

Ever since the first 3D films hit theaters in the 1950s, viewers have been forced to wear some kind of glasses in order to experience three-dimensional effects. But if we see the recent trends, there are number of glass-free solutions available in the market.

In 2011, Toshiba released the Qosmio F755 notebook, which uses its webcam to track your eye movements and serve up really compelling 3D images, though these are only optimized for a single viewer. Last year, phone vendors HTC and LG both launched handsets with glasses-free, stereoscopic 3D screens that weren't home theater quality, but were good enough for some three-dimensional fun. All this and some future technologies will join forces to make 3D Glasses extinct.
