Researchers develop a 360-degree holographic display

[EvilRB]

Just thought this was interesting, it looks like the type of technology that Atari first started as with video games. Now imagine what this technology will be like in 20 years!

Researchers at USC have taken another step towards that holiest of sci-fi dreams: the 3D holographic display. Using a spinning mirror covered with a "holographic diffuser," a special DVI implementation, and a high-speed projector, the team's device can project a three-dimensional image that can be viewed from 360 degrees -- regardless of the viewer's height and distance. That's impressive, but that spinning mirror looks pretty dangerous. Check a video of the system in action after the break.

Go to site to check out the video, not very exciting but I still found it interesting.

woah thats kinda crazy. Reminds me of the thing they had in Oceans 12

[kyoru]

that was hella impressive since you can move around the damn thing and manipulate it

We had a 3D Holographic game back in the early 90's. It had something to do with cowboys. I know it's not the same thing but I just remembered that.

That was awesome >)

+ rep, may the force be with you.

Somehow, I figured the guys that developed this would be Star Wars geeks.

Tie Fighter? Check!

I wonder how much longer it will be until they figure out a way to make Princess Leia's distress message? :keke:

gangsterrrrrrrr

[Matej]

That's interesting, I'm sure soon they'll be able to incorporate color and many other features to the point where the images will be lifelike.

I can see the future now...3D holograms with Porn!!!

The whole virtual sex with...all in 3D!!!

If you have to revert to the 3D world to get some action, then you've got some serious problems that even 3D can't fix.

Hey im just saying....you know thats whats gonna happen...just a matter of time. :duh:

[DRavenS13]

It's gonna be a huge mess- bodily fluids are not 3D. LOL

[supad0rk]

a year and a half... you'll see them mass produced for home use... two weeks later a knock off version will be on ebay.

Haha, so true. The first thing I thought of when I read this post was "Star Wars". Then I saw the TIE Fighter.

"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope."

[steve shadows]

but can it let you watch porn

[EvilRB]

porn will probably be the only reason why this thing gets sold of mass use!! LoL

now all the boobs will really be fake!

And i still don't care! Boobies are fun!

"how do you make 5 pounds of fat look good?"
