Now time for Hatsune Miku

[aneroph]

Sooo, how much longer until we get a Nintendo HologramDS?

[tardsmile]

hmm.. that would only work visually.but when implied or added for direct interface may be a problem. i think touching lights would be much safer than high speed rotating mirrors. wonder when science like that would come out ._.

[freedomsteppa]

you smart sonofabitch!

[MmorpgESP]

Imagine Anime on this!! 3D Hentai/Echi!

[xalener]

@MmorpgESP

There's a flaw in your logic. Can't draw in 3d.

3D porn has already been developped, it's called a prostitute

[saint7412369]

What sort of projector are you using? I can't imagine my home theatre projector's refresh rate would be anywhere near close enough to mimick this technology.

[IBON4IT]

[minaedwar]

Simple and effective, I always wanted a TV where i can go behind the news anchor!!!

[sismancocuk]

very impressive.

[pompom906]

awesome!

[TheYahmez]

best i've seen, impressive indeed, thought of something similar but obviously as a average guy, no way of trying it out. keep up the awesomeness :)

[pablodarko84]

It was good, but it is still a projection onto a hard surface, not 100% an hologram.

[superhornet59]

Hey I don't know if anyones seen one of those alarm clocks or something similair that has a series of LED's spinning on a disc really fast which are synched to produce an image.. but why don't we have anything like that in 3D, like a ring like object spinning. Why a mirror, whats wrong with LED's.. it wouldnt work with different perspectives? It seems like a cheaper solution.

[SethSteiner]

There is only 1 real holographic technology and that is the one from Star Wars and/or Star Trek. So the image IS there, no mirror, no display AND I can touch it/ my fingers going through. If I do the last thing here, it's time for a hospital. I hope for true holography in the future.

[anupchowdary]

@Deathwnd... I have a small doubt. Isn't that mirror reflecting?

[anupchowdary]

Awesome! Great! And those who are saying that it is fake, just fuckoff. The Image is shaking a lil bit due to the mechanical movement. The technology is awesome. Rome was not built in a day. This is just a demo. Checkout the first recorded Human voice in a Gram-phone. It is very noisy and you won't feel that it is like a Human voice. But now, Audio technology has improved. Similarly this technology will improve.

[Zawy3r]

its faked i saw it ;)

[Jotto999]

Was it really noisy? I can see that being a problem. Though I'm sure there are ways to cut down the noise.

[PortalFanPage]

I think this is fake, the image shakes when the camera moves

[uttula]

@PortalFanPage The reason for this is that the projector is projecting at only 15fps, and the motion tracking (of the camera; vertical parallax using this technique is only valid for one observer at a time ... this was not for some reason stated explicitly in the video) is not able to compensate "fast enough".

[reviewbestbuy3dtvled]

serching for 3d and foun your review thanks knock

[fuckmania07]

burn forever in hell or believe in Jesus

[thepsychicpebble]

@fuckmania07 sarcasm is hilarious

[samsoulee]

I don't understand why there are still no mass-produced. head tracking sterescopic video glasses to plug to your pc or ps3 ....

[66CrtS]

That's awesome!!

[netmatrix75]

This is cool! Though in its early stages, wish it would be compacted in the future and most importantly... CHEAP for the masses!

[bigslow20]

id crap myself if i saw a man running like that on sum1s table

[Priest105]

this is brilliant!

[Kyoru91]

lol, at you dumbasses, its real maybe, but the interactive part is fake, you can tell, still cool

[GrummligerTroll]

looks fake.

[EarthquakeMachine]

@GrummligerTroll what u just wrote have so much sense,,,, actuallly those aren´t real objects ASSHOLE

hehe

[norwegianbocker]

Imagine porn on this!

[ayooitsli]

this shit is hot. now they just need to figure out how to do that shiet without the mirror xD

[SnapshotOfASoul]

This is so freaking cool!

[Demon00ko00die]

i feel funn fake? just blue move?...........i don't know this real

[N17young]

hd to 3d to this in about 10 years

[LocoFiles]

is this physics?

[VirtueDesignNZ]

Obviously this technology is still very new. Cant wait to see the Adult version where it's a physical render in physical space without the need for the items in the video. one where you can actually interact with directly.

[VirtueDesignNZ]

Really basic tech, let me know when there is some real holographic technology where it's an actual projection that you can interact with using your hand, I wouldn't go near that thing that's in the video, looks real 1940's tech.

[spironulk]

a star wars nerd's dream come true an actual 3D holographic thing

[carterblizz]

this just made it to slashdot and its a neat demonstration but really i agree its too shakey of a technology... i just dont like bing moving parts... they tend to break

[therealwtfd00d]

Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

[Jo0ngle]

Why not use a monitor display instead of the mirror? Rotate the monitor tilted, just like you do with the mirror?

[meneerlies]

@Jo0ngle

Because the viewing angle matters. The beam draws each individual image, but the mirrors determine what image is shown at each viewing angle. You can't do that with a single monitor.

[Jo0ngle]

@meneerlies ,

But they already to that with the rotating "animation globes" that just contains a row o RGB leds instead, you can most certainly watch that from all angles. Heck, I'm not convinced that can't be done at all. If you rotate a monitor, time the lit-pixel at the exact position, how is that not 3D in X.Y,Z space when it's rotating?

[meneerlies]

@Jo0ngle

With that method, every observer will see the same pixel in the same spot. Yes, you can look around it (and display a different pattern on the 'back' than the 'front', but moving your head will still display the same image as projected on the globe. A mirror reflecting a laser beam doesn't do that, it can send different images to different viewing angles (which still has nothing to do with 3D - it's just a smart presentation of a series of 2D images for a finite number of angles)

[Jo0ngle]

@meneerlies , I don't agree. Let's say that you place a diagonally placed monitor and revolve it like in this demo. And rotate it 360 degrees. Now let's furthermore say that you display ONE frame that contains ONLY the 3D data (pixels) for that particular position (not the entire image), and on the next frame (1-degree) you continue with the scan from the object and place the next pixels, and on the next frame (2-degree) you do the same again and again until you have a complete 3D model.

[2Xensemble]

her hand is out of sync if you look closely...

[TiagoTiagoT]

I love how it wobbles in all directions while spinning up, makes the thing feel more oldschool, like CRTs back when you had to tune all the oscillators manually

[Mewtwopower1000]

qarusel, how old are you? 95? only old ppl say shit lie that, this is pretty damn cool, actually! dont be a sceptic and ruin it for the rest of the world!

[celebrei]

Help me Obi-Wan! you're my only hope!

[anthoney987654321]

that is pretty damn cool, but i cant see that projecting a high res image since it appears to be limited to one colour, and the fact that the thing is spinning so fast seems pretty dangerous if it wasnt in an inclosure

[TheChosenFruit]

=O this is like, perfect for yugioh! lol

Seriously, they could use this to make like the monsters actually appear, for like official tournies or something, that'd be epic @.@

[Barry3443]

u have to forward wind it. IT worsk just doesnt start

[kcba21]

OMG o.O

[dunno0O]

we must watch star wars on that thing

[diegoBNE]

wow !

[19999911]

great great great

[vmazzotta]

Impressive. I think that it was a very difficult work, but the results are very high.

Now I want to see how do you control miniaturization of this hw. If it can work with other ideas to eliminate mirror very tall. Only a very little plan to integrate in mobile for example

[PumpkinMelonJuice]

I don't get how you can see vertical change its a flat mirror that's like standing higher in your room and looking down on the peoples head on the tv. unless you had sensors to register the viewer raising up and changes the whole picture for that portion?

[TiagoTiagoT]

they should launch some arcade games with this technology to kickstart mass production

how about a vectorized, but 3D, space shooter, with 3 players, each one sitting at 120 degrees from each other?

[doguzer]

seems fake to me.. Im just sayin

[iSpeed09]

that's weird and amazing.

needless to say, it's technology (what's there to do about it)

[PointyGorman]

Does it trouble anyone else that the head model they used has horrible topology?

[minntwins81]

Umm... I like the physical aspect of it, like how other people can see it, as opposed to AR. But I still think AR is probably the better bet :-/

[walter0bz]

[O4Orsum]

This idea is brilliant! If simple calculators can turn into earth-orbiting Satellites, then these mirror-spinning holograms can become ... uh... a way to harness the sun's energy?

¯\O_o/¯

[ormdok]

@O4Orsum

ever heard of solar panels?

[O4Orsum]

@ormdok Perhaps my sarcasm wasn't radiated properly. My bad -.-

[LabakiTurbo]

I think they turned off the sound because a spinning mirror should be as noisy as a turbine... :P

[walter0bz]

i'm skeptical that this could be more usefull than regular vr

[walter0bz]

regular VR+web = interact with virtual world & other humans from anywhere in the world, which has many more uses surely.

similary, A.R in same room would be more pervasive

Still I'll agree with your point.. yes many inventions have uses that are unthinkable before they exist

[MrAlucard1988]

@LookMaNoBrains

lol, thats the reason for developing 3D technology :-D

[Skajaquad]

Why Is this not being mass produced yet?

[explodyhead]

because it's not practical yet.

[qarusel]

1. content: only 3D computer graphics can be displayed so it could only be for games

2. price: regardless of mass production, it contains highly sensitive mechanical components, which makes it expensive

3. spinning mirror means wind, so it has to be enclosed in a box, preferably in partial vacuum, so it requires lots of space, and it means the mirror can not be as big as current TV's because centrifugal forces would tear it apart

[Qualia]

@nervon i think he is right. Of course one could simply create a new set of camera which produces a 3D computer graphic of a scene instead of a flat image... but spinning a mirror is really a not very practical way...so this technology seems pretty useless

[aktechfreak]

i see your point

[goraidersgogogo]

it could be used for medicine, communications, advertising, product designing, alot of things, not just games

[zlayzer]

Animated movies can also be displayed ;)

[dguy107]

@qarusel ur a friggin genius man xD

[danya101]

@qarusel

1. games are not the only things that use 3D computer graphics, movies and other multimedia can be made for it.

2. Electronics depreciate, it will lower

3. "Centrifugal forces" cannot tear it apart, because they do not exist. You are confused with "Centripetal forces"

[Yudamori]

@danya101 thank you for the centripetal forces xD

[Zalethon]

@danya101 You mean centrifugal force is a 'fictitious force,' not that it doesn't exist. (Though I guess it probably is centripetal forces that would be working on the mirror)

[AlaskanGenius]

@danya101 YES!!!

[S0ts]

@qarusel No, man. It only spins one way, like a fan. Even if it would need to be enclosed in a box, it would not be expensive if mass produced.

[PatMx34]

@qarusel

3D computer graphics extend beyond games, e.g., pixar movies are all done with CAD. There are 3D scanners that can scan real-life objects like they showed.. who knows maybe one day they can do it in real time.

Also centripetal forces will net out to 0 if it's symmetric about its axis of rotation which it would be. Vibration would be a caveat, but it could be designed so that vibration is minimized

[qarusel]

@PatMx34 I stand corrected, any computer rendered graphich

centripetal forces, however, will net out to 0 if the object of rotation is centered and it is not really problematic, what I was referring to was that the material itself would break, because the centripetal (G) forces would be too great, unless some sort of high-tech material would be used. Again, too mechanically challenging, I am absolutely sure another, more elegant way to project a true 3d image will be found.

[grafo0]

@qarusel

you are very wrong, not only for games. This is a big advanced for medicine, architecture and other science.

[munyusziful]

@grafo0

Yepp, maybe he hasn't seen CAD applications before. Or went to the movies recently... Most of it is CGI nowadays with few people moving around between greenscreens.

[theas88]

@qarusel

I agree with all but part 1. 3d computergraphics are only used in games? must be kidding ;)

[LizzyAston]

@qarusel centripetal*

[spikespeed]

@qarusel

1- any 3D scanned objects can be displayed, dunno what point you're trying to make

2- Your computer have this kind of components, it's really more a matter of popularity on the market

3- The idea of this technology is yet to be totally explored.

[qarusel]

@spikespeed can be displayed, but it is very, very highly impractical to use this technology. Like I said, it is evident this will never be mass produced. You already have panels capable of displaying 2.5D picture, so to speak, not quite there yet, but getting warmer. What seemed the safest bet - 3D goggles - simply can't lift off the ground even now. Apparently the biggest problem is incompatibility with our eyes. I guess we'll have to wait a bit.

[bassamnz]

@qarusel cough cough..... there is no such thing as centrifugal force... cough cough

[Ahmahzahn]

@bassamnz but 'Wanted' made me believe! +1

[xyrox1]

@qarusel You're saying that 3D graphics are only used in games. That is really really ignorant.

[almafuertegmailcom]

@xyrox1 No, you stupid faggot, it requires actual 3D objects be fed to it. There is currently NO content shot in any format that could be used here. Even movies that were done 100% in 3D (Think anything from Pixar) still would not be suitable, since it's actual render (NOT realtime), and also has shitload of after-rendering work (editing and polishing) done in 2D, so, even if the movie was created in 3D, it is rendered into a regular 2D video.

You are wrong. Shut the fuck up.

[branboom]

@qarusel One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. ;D

[soulmt7]

@qarusel 1. U cn also watch movies in it

3. spinning mirror is not wind but dangerous....

[Ruttie2]

@qarusel No, it also has the ability to

project people. How? A scanner scans

the face to correlate a 3-d recreation.

This recreation can be seen live in

full motion. Guess you didn't knew

that yet.

oh, you mean an a version you can eat instead of a touchcsreen one??? lol!!

[TheProctor56]

@hyperconnected Nah thats the women's job.

[phantom1000A]

lol i want a touch screen version!

[KC0MLP]

@phantom1000A With the speed at which that mirror is moving? Ouch!

[ganzta94]

lol you touch that glass... and your fingers go flying!!!!!!!

[yochuky]

xD if U do that, the camara guy will go like: "owned"

[thingy291]

so how long till its on the open market

[Soetman]

never mind...

[Soetman]

can you do this with moving images too ?

[M4ssacre]

He does. Watch from 2:34

[Hemitris]

4:23

[pajermam]

wooooww amazing¡¡¡

[insanity54]

That's really cool! I've seen some others using projectors that project into a jet stream of air, which produces a hologram of sorts, but it is nowhere near as clear and nice as this one is!

[insanity54]

This got me thinking... Could you use a spinning stream of air combined with a projector to create a hologram you can stick your hand in? I'm thinking star warsy right now. Yours is like the CRT monitor of holograms- It has a refresh rate, why not skip straight to LCDs? Probably impossible at this point... Anyway, do it with air so it's kid safe, doesn't have a translucent blur, and you can put your hand in it!

[COHneger]

... There are already 3D hologram-viewers available.. Surely this one is a little "anti-futuristic"... They could scan you and view you as a 3D holographic-rendered person (thats how Game-developers do theyr things) at least some of em

[Alphamodule]

Oh no...the old crappy principle of laserprojection on a fast rotating spiral. Don't go this way. It's a dead end solution in terms of scalability and flexibility. The future of holography is elsewhere.

[TiagoTiagoT]

@Alphamodule the difference from the laser on the spiral is this can produce 3dimensional opaque surfaces, while the spiral will show everything overlaid regardless of depth and expected occlusion

[adagiodcuerdas]

oo si magnifico que buen video !!! jejeje

[raydiddy420]

There is a better way to do true 3D holograms.

[gpossel]

how?

[raydiddy420]

You would need to create 1 red, 1 green, and 1 blue; free floating plasma pixels that can be controlled by magnetic fields so you can have 3 dimensions of movement. If you move them fast enough you could create any shape just like a flashlight in the dark. You would need a refresh rate of at least 1000 hz for realistic animation. In order to stabilize the plasma, they would have to be spheres of ionized gas just like ball lightening, and then magnets to change their positions in space.

[TheYurry]

that sounds easyer....
