Remember watching the holograph of Princess Leia in the first Star Wars movie? Think it'd be pretty cool to watch the Super Bowl in 3D (and not have to wear those funky, annoying glasses)? It may be a reality sooner than you think.
In stories reported by the Arizona Daily Star and aired by KVOA News 4 (no video at time of post), University of Arizona scientists in the College of Optical Sciences have made a breakthrough in laser technology that will lead to such benefits.
Just a few years ago, the College of Optical Sciences opened up a new building to house world-class lab facilities...looks like it is starting to reap rewards. I'm sure there are many other things that don't make the news, but having such a facility and the attraction of such for leading scientists in their field are something for Tucson to be proud of!
Investment in cutting-edge research facilities like this are one way to diversify the economic profile of Tucson, and a fantastic example of forward-thinking. To learn more about the economics of Tucson & Southern Arizona visit the Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities website: TREO AZ

I wonder if watching the superbowl in 3d would have been that much more painful? :-)
Imagine watching next years games in 3d or maybe even American Idol.
Chuck - I'd think there would be a lot more arguing calls (if that were possible) LOL
Jenette - I shudder at the thought of that Simon guy in 3D!
