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..."
Looking into my new crystal ball monitor I see this being a flop. Sure it seems really cool but you just KNOW it's going to out of the price range of nearly everyone, plus it's so small. Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I'd buy one the first day it comes out but alas, I don't so I won't.

it's kind of funny, but the site works fine and the mirror is currently slashdotted :)
