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. "

Stick this technology

in the arcades where it belongs!

Since home game systems have caught up with arcade hardware at low cost, there isn't a sufficient technology advantage to keep arcade gaming advantageous and afloat.

Serious holographic displays on arcade machines would be fantastic, and home consoles wouldn't be able to touch it for many years since TV/monitor standards are so slow and entrenched.

Note: please allow 3+ years for development and adoption, and keep your fingers crossed that arcades still exist then.

I don't like having my eye movement tricked.

So do they think that people with 20/20 vision can actually view this for any length of time without casuing major eye strain, vertigous reaction, and any other focusing issue?
