View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection

Posted by timothy on from the say-that-9-times-quickly dept.

obiquity writes "The Augmented Reality lab is at it again with an extension of their 'smart projector' methods. In 'Enabling View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection in Real Environments' they demonstrate a method for point-of-view dependent 3-D image projection onto almost any surface using multiple projectors for VR/AR applications. There are still several problems that need to be solved, but how far off is this technology from a holodeck type implementation?"

    So how long until a horrible computer malfunction causes the holodeck characters to come to life and start taking people hostage?

    BTW, I wonder if such malfunctions ever happened on the holographic brothel on DS9? It wouldn't be so bad if all the hot sex-loving women came to life, would it? But no, it's always gangsters or evil dictators or Dr. Moriarty...
