HoloVizio 3D, Holodeck 1.0 to Some, Makes Its Debut

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the getting-there dept.

TaeKwonDood writes to tell us that another step towards Star Trek's Holodeck technology has been taken with the advent of HoloVizio 3D. Allowing users to see and manipulate objects in 3D without the assistance of goggles, this distributed system shows a lot of promise. "The HoloVizio is a 3-D screen that will allow designers to visualize true 3-D models of cars, engines or components. Better yet, gesture recognition means that observers can manipulate the models by waving their hands in front of the screen. The function offers enormous scope for collaboration across the globe."

    It looks like they're doing what this guy did 6 months ago with a Wii

    His examples are more impressive than this - and he never called his stuff "holodeck v1.0"

    Why was this modded redundant? I would think it would have been modded insightful.
