Heliodisplay In Production

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the toys-i-need-at-home dept.

David writes "News of a 3D display that projects an interactive image into thin air, the Heliodisplay, is not exactly fresh. What is new however, is that this once far-fetched conceptual object is now real, working and being sold. For those of you who have forgotten, the Heliodisplay from company IO2Tech projects into the air (without a need for special screen) images fed to it from a variety of sources. In a way, it's a working version of R2D2s holographic projection system." A similar product, the Pocket Beamer was previously covered on Slashdot.

    I wonder if there is a mod_slashdot around that will serve a 503 if it detects a few Slashdot referrers in a short period of time. That would be a smart way to save bandwidth. It would be nicer if it would automatically coral cache itself and then serve a redirect though.

    And still no freakin' price list- who puts up a ecommerce site and fails to tell people how much the damn thing COSTS?

    I think this is one of those, if you have to ask you can't afford it things.

    So those two aren't mutually exclusive? Does that mean its generally unusual?
