Next Generation of Holographic Images
suman28 writes "Imagine being able to view an image from all sides and have it interact with you. Scenes or images pop-out at you and change on the fly and are viewable in full color. Best of all, you don't need head-gear or any wearable device to make this possible. They are generated by a computer with two cameras that track your eye movement and there is a transparent LCD screen between you and the display that makes the pictures come alive. Though it may be a while before this becomes part of our daily lives, it is interesting to see what the kind of research being done on this. "
*insert obligatory 3D pr0n reference here*
Real-world pop-ups!!! The JOY!

"Research". So that is what pr0n is called now....

Imagine the implications for Dorito's.

after all, millions of video game players would give their left control-pad thumbs...
I knew there was a reason why other people seemed to be better than I was at Quake. But knowing they had more than one LEFT THUMB makes me realize how handicapped I was in those games...
Cool technology though.. I guess we are getting to that future we were wondering about 10 years ago..

Finally, something worth moving up to from my 12 inch CGA.

It was designed that way since the majority of people watch porn alone.
churning through 20 terabytes worth of information every second would require extraterrestrial technology Mental note to self: must get more hampsters...

I already play 3d games where I view an image from all sides and it fully interacts with me. Scenes or images, in living colour, pop-out at me and change on the fly. Even better, I can interact with friends in a dynamic playing environment where different, continously moving, fully realized 3d images are viewable by all participants from all possible angles.
It's called "sports". Get off the couch, fatties.
"Imagine being able to view an image from all sides and have it interact with you" Wow! That's exactly like what I see every single day!
..the fog machine version. At least then you can cool the computer, yourself, your popsicle, etc.... while you play. This one you probably need bifocals in order to use it. ;-)
Someone put a black hole in my pocket and now I'm broke.
How do helicopters and other personal aircraft _not_ qualify as flying cars?
Because there's not one in my garage.
Man, they've been doing this kind of stuff since the 70's. Why, I'd bet that everytime me and the gang would be investigating a mystery, some embittered ex-carnival employee, or some crooked investor would use this exact same technology to project a ghost or some other apparition to scare away people who might horn in on his fortune. Oh wait... lines... between fantasy and reality... becoming clearer....forget what I just said.
Transparent panel between you and the display... like maybe a Store Window?
Busty Babe in Store Window: "Hi, [your name], I notice you like walking. How about a pair of Nike PaveHuggers?"
You: Huh?
Babe [tracking your eye movement]: Oh, do you like my boobs? Check out my personal website. I just sent the URL to your PDA. [Licks lips] Will I see you later?
Yeah, that's called a "girlfriend". Most people don't have access to that technology yet, it seems.
Holodeks always break down and take over the ship or house with weird characters out of books.
Stop this stuff now!
