360-Degree 3D Imaging

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the still-waiting-for-my-holodeck dept.

CompSurfer writes "Yesterday, 3Dsolar released information about a new 3D imaging system, it works by somehow projecting onto a rotating screen. According to the story the "Prototype debuts at NVIDIA Oct. 25 in Santa Clara, California and [at] Innovact in Reims, France, October 5-7" I wonder where they are hiding the force field emitter..."

    I've seen a handfull of display systems that used a fog screen to project 2d images before, and a few that relied on mirrored surfaces to create a 3d illusion. Light must be reflected off of something in order to be seen. This article doesn't say how it's done, so we'll have to wait for Oct 25 to see how its actually done.

    If this uses a fog screen, will it therefore be vaporware.

    For the very first time, computer users will be able to view 3D objects hovering a few inches away from a screen that rotates 360 degrees - without wearing glasses. The stand-out feature is the way users will be able to manipulate the virtual image directly with their hands as they would a real object.
    :O if prices will come down this is certainly going to make porn interesting.

    Hey man, the clarity on R2D2's emitter wasn't great either, but it was sufficient to...
