3DTV at IFA 1983
Consumer electronics have been making a big deal of 3DTV since at least 1983, when Philips presented this prototype at IFA. In the background can be seen a pair of Laserdisc players and a Philips P2000T home computer. The machine has a built-in cassette deck for storage and ran on a 2.5MHz Z80 processor.
