How can HDTV be improved?

In my opinion, panoramic mode is easier to implement than 3D.

Then TV screen would look like a ring or sphere around the viewer. Scan lines become scan circles.

A panoramic-shooting videocam should have fish-eye lens pointing to the sky. Then one wears it as a helmet, to not obscure its round field of view.

I don't see any technical obstacle, do you?

Vladimir.

Yeah,
But then you would see fat bob with the boom mike and half his ass showing as he streches over to get good sound.

Vladimir, you should patent that one. It cracks me up. All you'd need would be some extra sets of eyes to watch it
