2057: The World of Tomorrow

On January 27, 2007, the Discovery Channel premiered a documentary / drama about the future of technology in our society, titled 2057: The World of Tomorrow. The shows description read:

What would you see and experience if the clocks rolled forward 50 years? In a unique blend of drama and science, this three-part series shows you the world of tomorrow. Will we have flying cars? Will advances in medicine help us stay young forever? What about printing custom-made vital organs? What will our cities look like? What will tomorrow's wars be about? Will we have robots helping around the house? Will solar power be the new oil?

Supported by the world's leading scientists and research institutes, we embark on a quest to answer some of society's most fundamental questions and reveal the dramas of tomorrow's world along the way. State-of-the-art computer graphics in combination with a dynamic story line will create a world usually only seen in feature films, but with the accuracy and relevance of a documentary. This series is all about opening the window of our future based on science fact, not science fiction.

A main focus of the City episode of the series was the prevalence of immersive, 3D display technology in everyday environments such as a bedroom. One of the Four Eyes Lab's core projects is working on just such a device, a novel large-format 3D display using the FogScreen, so we were included in the show.

After three long days of filming in February 2006, the spot was assembled and the final results are available for download here:
