3D "Crystal Ball" Monitors
glesga_kiss writes "Actuality Systems have issued a press release announcing sales of their 3D display technology, as reported by Yahoo Finance. The system works similar to an old spining disk optical illusion, except that the 21st century version produces an image that can change through the use of digital projection. In this case the screen is a rotating disk that is capable of producing light at any point that it passes through. The upshot is that you get a real 3D representation of your object, that can be viewed from 360 degrees around the display, without the need for any special goggles. Not quite ready for Hollywood, but the scientific and engineering communities have some obvious uses for it already..."
And check my e-mail!!! Woohoo!
I thought that's what the "turn your head and cough" test was for.

Have you ever considered a career in piracy?
That's why the crazy concept of "plays" never caught on. What were those Greeks thinking, trying to tell a story without camera angles?
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
Don't know why you bothered posting, The Wicked Witch of the West had one of those things quite a while ago.
I've no idea. I've been blind in one eye for my entire life so wouldn't really know how people with 2 working eyes "perceive" depth. I have no problems telling the differences between 2D (real world) and 3D (as seen on a TV screen/poster) objects, if that helps.
Yeah.. just look at all the movie theater executives destroyed by the massive success of IMAX.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
I can't wait to see the Blue Sphere of Death. :)
But seriously, what a cool gadget.
