Heliodisplay In Production

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 know there are probably already a bunch of comments on porn applications but let's just take a moment to thank Science. When they get the kinks out we'll have enough juice for artificial intelligence so we each can get our own porn whore off of kazaa, and if this thing could project opaquely enough to hide surfaces, you engineer some robotic hand and mouth with cybernetic skin surfaces to work in concert with the holowhore. By the way, I just got a "massage" last night (aka rub and a tug). Two hundred bones (manhattan prices), but the girl was so fine and when she asked me to turn over to end the session happily it was like one stroke, done. The thing is, you don't really need to apologize because her job's a lot easier. I guess you just need to take 100mgs of V-dog and "save up" for a while beforehand. With sex without a financial transaction I take forever, often wearing the chick out first and leaving the scene unsassified. Is this massage thing a fetish or anybody know a Freudian explanation for that? And mods, that was adequately tangential from my on topic post so don't mod me up the ass because, though admittedly a stretch, this was on topic. For once don't bust my balls, people need to read this! Gotta stimulate a public debate about the psychodynamics of the hand-release procedure! Btw go on craigslist to find these services! And browse at -1!!

    at least he didn't post AC, so the mods will hopefully make him pay his dues in karma
