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..."

That's why the crazy concept of "plays" never caught on. What were those Greeks thinking, trying to tell a story without camera angles?

And it works with Windows?

But seriously, what a cool gadget.

Say "Opes source"
Rule 3 on being a Karma Whore.
Say nothing else worthwhile.

Ok, I'll bite:
