    Major Japanese electronics firm Mitsubishi Electric has developed a dome-shaped screen which is billed as offering viewers a wider, three-dimensional images.

    The system, which has a dome three meters (9.9 feet) in diameter and screen projectors, can use computer graphics designed for conventional flat screens without any modification and adjust possible distortion.

    Mitsubishi Electric is "planning to offer the system to the amusement market and the advertising market, where the system rides on the strength of realistic visualization," the company said in a statement.

    It developed the system with a subsidiary, Mitsubishi Precision, which is manufacturing driving and flight simulation systems.

    It is yet to decide on when it will launch the system or its price.
