Mixed-Reality 3D Volumetric Projector
First time accepted submitter Gortu writes "We are describing and demonstrating a 3D Volumetric Projector (YouTube video); in short words: a device that enables mixed reality. The 3D projector has very poor quality, we just have 10 rotational voxels (as we are using only 10 regular LCD projectors), but is proof of concept for developing a commercial solution."
The projections are, indeed, a bit foggy.
It ain't hatin, its just we in the USA got legitimate beefs!

Lets start with the Brits shall we? I mean there we go and bust our butts, not to mention give you TONS of killer hardware at below cost, just so we can save your tea swilling butts from them Nazis, and what do you do? You go to that dang blasted metric system invented by them Frenchies, a group that can't even do the wave at a football game because once their hands are up they start looking for a German to surrender to! But we got history so say your sorry and go back to Imperial units like God and the Queen intended and all is forgiven. But what you did weren't nuthin' compared to them dang Ozzies!
To the folks of the land of OZ...what did we do to you? Didn't we come down there and save your butts from the Japs and give you good stuff too? We thought you was actually nice guys, we save your butts, you give us Foster's followed by one of the best damned movies of modern cinema, i'm of course speaking of Mad Max. Sure you also sent over Olivia Newton John but you were probably just blinded by the cuteness, that's understandable. But then you go right out and do a double attack on the poor old unsuspecting US of A by dropping Paul Hogan and Yahoo fricking Serious on us!! WTF OZ? What did we do to deserve THAT much pain? You'd think we'd been mounting kangaroos on the front of our pickup trucks and stuffing koala bears! That was just...it was wrong and YOU KNOW IT! Now you come get every damned copy of Young Einstein and anything with Hogan in it and give everyone who was assaulted by that horror a Foster's and a nice apology and you too can be forgiven.
But you know who can NEVER be forgivin? God damned CANADA that's who! There they were pretending to be all peaceful and friendly and Bob & Doug lovable, give us bacon and CFL and hockey along with The Shat, so we think you're a nice bunch of folks and then BAM! You release that bitch harpy Celine Dion on us like a fricking Nazgul! And then when we were still reelin from that attack you hit us with Nickelback! WTF Canada! Y'all better consider yourselves on probation and keep those bioweapons safely locked up or we'll roll the tanks...of course it'll have to be summer though, we don't care for the cold.
So as you can see we have real reasons to dislike many of them other nasty countries. We've learned every time you try to play nice with folks the insult you or assault you! at least after we kicked their asses the Jerrys and Japs had the decency to just sell us quality goods and keep their caterwauling to themselves! Oh and the ONLY reason the Brits get off light is they did send us Python, and that lets them have a bigger "get away with shit free' card than everybody else. anybody that could give us dead parrot and cheese store sketches can't be bad, just confused.
