Found this cool video about "holographic" experimentation. This practice is called a light-field display and is a projector that displays hundreds of images into different degrees of the same space. A spinning mirror captures all of those images and reflects them back in the appropriate direction, thus creating the illusion of a three dimensional object. The projector calculates the the correct shading and occlusion for the image in order to make it as realistic as possible.

Holy cow, that's incredible. I love seeing stuff that makes me feel like the future is here. I kind of wonder how noisy the oscillating mirror is. And I'd love to see it in person.

Oh great. Now we'll have to sit our holographic TV in the middle of the room and walk around it to get the full effect. I wanna be a couch potato!

LOOKISThen get a motorized couch, which is attached to tracks that goes around the thing. Problem solved.
I wanna be a couch potato!
P.S. Every time I hear the term "couch potato", I immediately think of the parents from this music video.

Nice!
Now we gotta get started on that flying car. We're way behind on that by 60's standards.

lastcallHeh, trick 3D you can only see from one angle- via projection onto a hidden screen. Very clever musical performance! :)
vid
The 3D stuff reminds me of something I saw today- This guy that sells blocks of crystal glass with 3D images of thinks inside them. You give him a photo of a family member and he can make a 3D version of them inside the crystal block. It reminded me of all those references in SciFi where they have a 3D crystal image of their loved one. You can actually do it!
Funnily enough I think I've been aware of that tech for a long time but just never realised how cool it was. He even had a 3D map of an underground mine site in one showing all the different tunnels and levels, pits and shafts and cuttings...
On one hand that's pretty simple, but on the other it's like something from a SciFi computer game.
