Mind-Blowing Interfaces On Display At SIGGRAPH 2009

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday August 5, 2009 @03:45AM from the closing-in-on-that-holodeck dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Tech Review has a roundup of some cool, experimental new interfaces being shown at SIGGRAPH 2009, underway in New Orleans this week. They include an amazing 'touchable holograph' display, developed by a team in Japan, which uses an ultrasound device to simulate the sense of touch as the user grasps objects shown in 3D. The other ideas on display are Augmented Reality for Ordinary Toys, Hyper-Realistic Virtual Reality, 3D Teleconferencing and Scratchable Input Devices. If this is the future of computers, sign me up." The conference has also seen the release of OpenGL 3.2 by the Khronos Group.

From TFA: "A cluster of PCs is needed to perform the necessary image capture and 3D modeling." HA! Suck on that Mac!

  > speaking of mind blowing, malda just blew me. Shit was so cash. Literally. He ate out my asshole and offered my $5 if I would shit in his mouth. Given the size of the brown rope I dropped, he sure got his money's worth.
  4chan just called, they want their zeitgeist back.
