One giant step for home entertainment?

Last updated at 15:57pm on 16th October 2006
Is this the way we will all be 'enjoying' our television programmes and computer games in the future?

In this astonishing photo, a model is wearing a new gadget, from electronics manufacturer Toshiba, that enables the wearer to experience a full 360-degree view on a 40 centimetre dome-shaped screen.

But, looking more like the helmet from Neil Armstrong's space suit than the next must-have gizmo, this three kilo full-faced helmet might make it a little tricky to relax with a drink in front of the football...

I have seen it all now. How are we going to get wee Jimmy to come down for tea with that thing on his head! Ha Ha.

Will Jack Straw ask us to take it off I wonder?

Best laugh of the day so far! Thanks very much.

Would love to see portable ones of these worn on the underground! If aliens landed, they'd feel quite at home...

Haven't Toshiba heard of reduction technology?!

- John, Manchester
It would be better if there was anything worth watching on TV!

- Ian, Lincoln
I've seen some daft ideas but this is one of the worst!
