1945 TV Console Showed Two Programs at Once

This seems to be from the '50s, not the '40s.
pseudolus•1d ago
The photo shown at the top of the story is of a 1945 prototype.
hn_throwaway_99•5h ago
You're both right. The initial prototype with essentially 2 separate side-by-side TVs was from 1945. But the more interesting (IMO) approach was the 1954 "Duoscopic" version that showed 2 programs on the same screen, and each viewer looked through a polarized panel (and had their own headphones) to view their particular program: https://www.earlytelevision.org/pdf/dumont_duoscopic_brochur...

It could probably have shown 3D programs as well, using glasses with differently polarized right and left lenses.

Occasionally I put on multiple programs. Movies in one room, an audio book in another, music in another, etc. Your mind drifts to what is interesting. Lights strobing. Working on 5 different home projects in parallel. It's a vibe.
fracus•3h ago
He basically just glued two TVs together. You would get more usability if you just bought two separate TVs.
bryanlarsen•2h ago
The prototype was two TV's together. The final product was much more interesting.

There is something fascinating about people from history who had an idea to do something which is now just normal, but the technology just wasn't there (and people probably thought they were mad).

I guess that's why I enjoy reading Hacker News comments

That was not just Sony SimulView, the whole late stage of the 100/120 Hz 3D-TV hype lived on that promise before everything went back to 60hz for another 5 years.

Had an LG that even came with those light passive polarizers tech Dual Play glasses that were never used.

Ultimately that novelty came probably too early to mature to acceptable results on 1080p sources and edge-lit LED 1080p panels of that era, if it was ever meant to be.

Might be wortwhile to reintroduce them on 4k with sunlight challenging mini-LEDs as a differentiator vs less brighter OLEDs for more than acceptable results at 3840x1080 and consoles being able to push out that kind of resolution.

Currently console support for splitscreen multiplayer seems to be a dying art over the last decade. But you could still multiplex 2 sources into the same screen though.

Then again there is no replacement for Kinect-like tech either either in current consumer market offerings, I would still take that over most VR experiences in terms of setup/social friction and local/couch coop.
