It looks like CES 2009 is about to be dominated by home media networking. There are already some announcements from HP and Iomega regarding their solutions, and there’s bound to be more on the show floor. However, most of these home media servers can only serve up whatever media you have on a computer, whether legally or illegally contained. There are solutions that make it easier to record other media, namely TV shows. Ace Computers is bringing that capability into consumer’s homes.

There are plenty of options for home media servers. There’s dedicated machines, programs and the like, but most tend to be rather large. They tend to require at least a small-sized computer somewhere in you home. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could find a home media server that was easy to conceal, as well as easy to use? That’s what Iomega is shooting for with their new Home Media Network Hard Drive, set to debt at Macworld and CES.

Just imagine watching Monday Night Football with the players looking like they are running right at you. Talk about experiencing the excitement of the game without actually being there. Or fighting the bad guys in your favorite video game (and you thought the Wii made the fighting seem realistic).

Scientists have finally broken the barrier that had prevented this type of technology by creating the first updatable three-dimensional displays with memory. Dr Nasser Peyghambarian, chair of photonics and lasers at the University’s of Arizona’s Optical Sciences department, said, “This is a prerequisite for any type of moving holographic technology.” Although there is still work to be done, scientists are still very optimistic they are getting much closer to this becoming a reality in the next five to ten years.
