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. "

But its the double whamo of 3D Pr0n & Forced feedback gloves.

With these, you might be doing more inserting than just: * *insert obligatory 3D pr0n reference here*

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.

How do helicopters and other personal aircraft _not_ qualify as flying cars?

Because there's not one in my garage.

Now we can get

• Little holographic characters (Clippit and his friends)...
  • Geysering out of your computer screen into your personal space
  • Cavorting around on your keyboard singing about Chevrolets or cold drinks or overdue upgrades
  • Acting out tiny love scenes or fight scenes to grab your attention
• Or a full-sized holographic hand reaching out to hold yours, saying "Would you like suggestions on style? May I recommend the Palatino font?"
• at which a printer, complete with leather apron, leaps out holding up a proof sheet using YOUR doc's words
  
• until a Tyrannosaurus Rex bounds upon the scene and gobbles all the other holograms, only to turn to you and say "Hey, [YOUR NAME], tired of intrusive software? Get NO-Zilla the holo killa! Only $39.95!"
  

Haven't they learned anything from Trek?

Holodeks always break down and take over the ship or house with weird characters out of books.

Stop this stuff now!
