2010 saw considerable technological innovations that will change our work and play habits.

Huge leaps in 3D technology happened in 2010. At least two companies developed 3D screens which don’t require glasses for viewing. Other television makers introduced home 3D television systems. They require viewing glasses and special 3D broadcasting, so it may be a while before every household has a 3D TV.

Gaming experienced a huge boost with new motion controlled game systems. These systems’ ability to track body movement has enormous potential beyond the video game world.

Probably the most significant innovation of 2010 is the tablet computer. Tablets aren’t altogether new, but virtually every computer maker released a version. There’s stiff competition to dominate a market which will likely change personal computing standards.

Even though tablets are the rage, several e-readers emerged as an alternative to both the pricey tablet and the traditional book. With the affordability of these readers, it’s possible that paper books will become a relic within the decade.

Augmented reality is an amazing new technology. Available in several apps, it uses a mobile phone’s camera and enhances the view by adding computer-generated sound or graphics. These cool apps have great entertainment and educational promise.
