Computer Engineering
A computer engineer works hard to write software and design computer parts along with having an integral role in the design of operating systems and computer chips. Engineers also pioneer new products in the technology industry and refine their development for the public to use. Computer Engineers usually become involved with robotics at one point in their careers and they are also the constitutive in the creation of innovative technologies for the future.
3D Holography Technology – Japan’s virtual World Cup 2022
For their bid to host the World Cup soccer tournament in 2022, Japan has proposed to use 3D Holography technology to broadcast real-time three-dimensional images of all of the players and the matches at 400 different stadiums paved with 3D flat screens all over the world. That means that people in Toronto, for example, simply need to travel to their local stadium to view a soccer match live in 3D as if it were being played out in front their eyes – without 3D glasses.

Enhance
1. The technological innovation featured in this blog is 3D Holography TV Technology and how Japan is planning on using this up-and-coming technology for their bid to host the 2022 World Cup. In basic terms, officials in Japan are planning on projecting real-time three-dimensional images of the players and the stadiums at 400 different stadiums paved with 3D flat screens all over the world, not just in Japan, so that people can experience the World Cup without being an actual spectator. This technology with live 3D holographic broadcasts of the life-size soccer matches is sure to revolutionize the technological world and the profession of both computer engineers and electronic manufacturers alike. It will enhance this career by introducing a new field of study for students going into computer engineering and allowing computer engineers and electronic manufacturers to have a basis for creating new products based on this mind-blowing electronic innovation. For example, it was reported that a new handheld device could come into the market with holographic technology. There is no denying that this revolutionizing 3D Holography technology will also provide a significant challenge for computer scientists and electronic manufacturers in the future, as they would have to develop a whole new technology. It could also change the way millions of people view large international events that range from the Olympics to Basketball games along with enhancing the way we view sports and computer engineers will be the ones who develop this new technology of 3D Holography, therefore there participation in the development of this technology is crucial. The impact that this innovation will have on the workflow, role and evolution of the computer engineering field will be huge, as more and more engineers will be exploring this technology and updating it for the future.
Retrieve
2. 3D Holography technology retrieves the idea of 3D TV from the recent past along with projectors. This is because the whole idea of projecting a live soccer match with virtual soccer players in 3D is based around watching 3D images in movies at the movie theatre and also on projecting images on a flat screen. This will affect the career by possibly giving computer engineers and electronic manufacturers the opportunity to update these two technologies (projectors and 3D TV) so that they keep up with the far-fetched idea of 3D Holography and watching a soccer game in 3D in a stadium with a flat screen as if you were there, yet, you are thousands of miles away from where it is actually happening.
Obsolesce
3. This technology will most likely obsolesce 2D TVs along with dramatically changing the way we view sports or any form of global event and also 2D TV programming. This is because so many people might want to follow through with this change of TVs and computer engineers/electronic manufacturers must be flexible and adapt to this change. Therefore there will be less demand for 2D television and more demand for TVs with 3D and 3D Holography technology along with more supply. Also, it is possible that brand new products such as cell phones with 3D technology created after the introduction of this virtual World Cup might draw attention away from 2D TVs along with watching sports on television. This will be a positive change because it will allow the world to develop and grow for both people in a career around electronic manufacturing and for the field itself. It could also obsolesce the idea of turning on your TV to watch a soccer match in the World Cup; instead, you could travel to a stadium in your local area and watch the live game holographically, as if you were there for real. The way that TV is programmed in the world might have to change as well, possibly becoming updated to 3D.
Reverse
4. The factor that this innovation will reverse when pushed to its outer limits is travel. This is because with the newly introduced convenience of simply traveling to your local stadium to watch a live soccer game with 3D players will decrease your need to travel miles away to the actual event. A definite drawback to real-time holography technology across hundreds of stadiums around the world is its expense and how time consuming it is in order to function properly. It was reported that Japan was spending 6 billion dollars to develop this technology, and computer engineers are the ones who are on the receiving end of this massive expense. Also, it is certain that this project will be highly time-consuming for all people involved.
