3D display system

[Pooua]

These are interesting concepts for the user interface.

[Docterdave1010]

Shut up

[deathjester145]

omg imagine playing total war on that table

[Ruttie2]

And yet, it is NOTHING compared to holograms!

They're so real, that if you'd project them, you wouldn't

see the damn difference between reality and the hologram!

[Pooua]

@Ruttie2 Have you actually ever seen a hologram? 

[Ruttie2]

@Pooua Yes, and this is not it. LOL

[lukostello]

why is there no shadow?

[ExLxExMxExNxT]

Wow way to copy Johnny Chung Lee's work =p

[coolerwesbox]

cool toy

[part2themovie]

This is all based on Johnny Chung Lees work with the nintendo wii and infrared triangulation for motion tracking applications.

I'm glad to see an IMPLEMENTATION of this technology but I would love to see applications rather than obvious spin offs.

In case you didnt know youtube "Johnny Chung Lee" or "Augmented Reality Wii"

Mr. Lee is also helping with Microsoft Natal alongside PETER MOLYNEUX

[nr1341]

Freakin right. That's exactly what I was thinking when watching this. Amazing technology, really.

[Spectralancer]

How do you know he's the originator of all this technology? Others may have developed it independently in parallel.

[part2themovie]

That's very interesting that you brought it up because I was one of these people. i will acknowledge that he had a working prototype negating any of my claims. But it's most important to note the phenomenon of simultaneous inspiration, and our inability to understand how thought processes work. I have a little phrase, "If it's your idea, why does it have to come to you?" I guess it can be boiled down to similar variables in closely related fields, but i think that's an oversimplification.

[BoltOfThundor]

@part2themovie A good point part2themovie, I came across an article in Sceintific America about the origin of creativity. I haven't read all of it yet. but you might find it on an archive some where. I'll post the date of the magazine that contains the artcle, or you can message me. latter.

[part2themovie]

thanks, i'll look it up

[FischKopfD]

@part2themovie

not true

[part2themovie]

@FischKopfD is true

[deryk703]

This would be a great tool for teaching students the "layers" of things from the earth to the human body.

[Tressco]

Schland!

[shteak]

Is it just me, or does this thing look old fashioned and a little tacky?

...Oh, and pretty much useless!

[SEThatered]

You are free to do better...

[shteak]

Sorry guy... I'm far too busy developing the worlds first sonic dildo.

[karmacomacure]

@SEThatered so are you.

[karmacomacure]

@shteak  taacky? who even uses that word anymore..i'd say you're a bit tacky, and also probably far more useless

[shteak]

Many people today use the word tacky... Some of them can actually spell it. Maybe you shouldn't rush in future when you're trying to get a quick dig in... You won't look like a huge knob! P.S. i'm hardly useless, i've recently been selected as the millionth user of a certain website and, i'm assured, will be winning a brand new Audi A4 just by clicking this little window.... So there!

[redkb]

Johnny Lee did this first with a wiimote!

[niiidar]

That's awesome!

[ahmology]

it cant be used in MRI nor CT it only project certain prev saved images .. so it is mor likely to be used in medical training ... surgery percision ... or even body/face morphing to a customly picked image

[0403aaa]

ummmm.... dont you think the MRIs that they use can be transferred to the memory of the computer then used in the 3D display!! yeah think!! still i guess it would be a pretty good instrument for medical training and such...

[billythefifer]

It's like the lost in space part trying to save judy.

[FatoDrunkoAndoStupid]

This technology may one day revolutionize marriage. Imagine being able to project a more attractive image onto your spouse during intercourse.

[Foxmang]

@FatoDrunkoAndoStupid LOL

[Excruci0]

Could be very useful for new CT scan autopsies.

[wallofjustin]

Love the idea, but using these materials like this is just very very crude, in my opinion. A good advancement, though =)

[celshader]

almost like a 3d hologram...but not.

Very cool idea.

[pchackal]

It would be tired to hold the piece of paper all the time if you want to hold on and see the same image for a moment.

[qt247ha]

lovely for MRI scans!!!!!! YEH!

[teamkvs]

sci fi movies are becoming reality

[njimko23]

I have another idea for controlling a display that is the size of a piece of paper. I call it a scroll bar.

[TheSpankymonkey]

hehe.

[deadgoblin86]

cunt

[0Dist]

moist

[YUPnNOPE]

kind of cool. but kind of stupid... could just use a touch screen with different layers for the picture.. or pinch to zoom..

[kickit246]

that would be a really big touch screen then. I'm sure each way has its benefits that we don't fully know of tho. Kinda neat tho.

[mindroverjpc]

It would make it a lot easier and therefore quicker to interpret the data. Viewing a 3d model is a lot more informative than sifting through a whole series of 2d slices and trying to piece the information together.

[Ipoonthecasbah]

Not useful? did you see that diagonal MRI display shit? that's pretty awesome if you ask me.

[gstarbob]

everyone is talking about how this isnt practical; a lot of videos from these people arent practical; they are IDEAS. everything starts as an idea

[eSilva90]

one step closer to 3d holographic porn

[LokiClock]

@eSilva90 Specifically 3D holographic guro.

[Sharpie817]

like in avatar! kinda..

[Shaunt1]

I like how simple it its.

[crash6871]

just what I need!

[1lalaland]

kind of stupid

[spells14]

@1lalaland i agree. i can't think of a practical use for this.

[eSilva90]

not stupid, it has potential

[Dilliboy63]

can't wait till we get 3d imaging as goods as in the movies, like Serenity!! Wait, this is that exact technology.

[CognosSquare]

Why not just an lcd screen that you can hold in any direction. Maybe with an accelerometer.

[zkjgrty]

wow that looks awesome

[Renuzitus]

It doesn't seem like new technology... Great Video though! :)

[artvandelay13]

Cool, but I don't really see the advantage of doing this with a sheet of paper held in your hand, when the technology already exists to do it on a computer screen. It might be slightly easier to control, but I think it would also be quite cumbersome (even in more refined versions than the prototypes shown) and it doesn't really look worth it.

[aHeavenscent]

its too clumsy. it seems moore like a toy

[LNOL]

Looks like more trouble than it's worth.

[Zeldovich]

dat sum krazi shit

[iPawdTouch]

ooh thats cool

[RolandRhodes1]

Would Jesus allowe this kind of tech. NO

[Madmonkeythegreat]

and why is that?

[MultiPyro7]

why wouldn't he? he gave us this brain for a reason and he didn't just put us here to worship him day and night. He gave us a brain to use!

[RolandRhodes1]

This is the devils work. Anyone can see that. We have brains to believe . Not to destroy Gods creation

[indyguy101]

i hope you're trollin'

[MultiPyro7]

devils work? u sound like that old piece of shit pat robertson.....we have brains to use them to explore the world god put us in and make our lives easier. this makes detecting any problems in the human body easier....i mean even pat robertson uses computers and TV to steal money from people.....

[Charlymaumushi]

The why do you destroy so much?

[indyguy101]

no, he'd be to busy getting nailed to a cross

[RolandRhodes1]

You will get to hell for this!!!!!!

[RolandRhodes1]

just fucking with you guys. Cant sleep.

Here is a good one.

I went to the store and I asked for Grand theft auto 2. The guy didnt know it . So I told him that it was a Game about a black guy swinging some iron bars, destroying cars and picking up hookers.

the guy said. Ohh you mean tiger woods 2010

[rage13371]

lol

[NintendoGh3ftw]

@RolandRhodes1 wtf you are crazy?!?! how do you go to hell for this??? and im catholic so you can't say nothing.

[websnarf]

Fortunately, your delusions are not powerful enough to stop the progress afforded by ever improving technology.

[LizzyAston]

dude chill its a website not actually something important

and that goes for everyone on here

[Mrmtjones]

i believe you're all ignorant

[fredlippi]

cure to cancer is b17 in your diet

[SkyDaddy7]

@fredlippi You should take 2000-5000 I/U a day of Vitamin D to "prevent" cancer.

Watch this: watch?v=TQ-qekFoi-o

There are several other lectures on Vitamin D from other Universities that say the same thing...Go to YouTube Education and search Vitamin D!

GOOD STUFF!!!

[Mackingster]

Reminds me of Star Trek and other Sci-fi films.

[ugieman]

cool

[yusufsheth]

That is realllly awesomesauce.

[DarkDant3]

this stuff is amazing !!!

[JixMa]

Wow, amazing and cool!

[clappic]

hi , i dont think that's "real" 3D , by 3D i mean "useful" 3D .

Example : digital radios are more "eye pleasing" but they're not always better than traditionnal ones .

[BlueCrayolaMarker]

That´s very cool.

[thecityregistrar]

Simple yet innovative :)

[guillermo316]

this is magic, 2012!@

[pippodeltrappeto]

Future medicine will be more amazing than today sci-fi....

[delidani]

how far in the future are you talking about?

[pippodeltrappeto]

Well, i think even in the next 70-80 years...

[delidani]

ah yeah

i think by that time we wont have these problems like cancers or similar problems require surgeries because we will have so strong immune system and maybe nanobots in our blood.

we will use healthcare for like growing your lost leg maybe robotlimbs.

we wont visit hospitals so often rather plastical surgeries imo

[RationalFuture]

I read way too much Kurzweil...

[TheDivineCellphone]

thats not how the world works...

-what government ??

the one who cures cancer will earn all the money in the world !... why would anyone hide such a discovery ?

[SkyDaddy7]

@ariadarabi That is such an ignorant statement!

[ariadarabi]

Believing something isn't ignorant, closing your mind to that belief is ignorant.

[cowpacino]

Believing something with no evidence is ignorant. Being skeptical is not ignorant

[robertghouston]

Damn straight.

[LizzyAston]

but religion is ignorant

[ariadarabi]

Well, in my opinion religion is ignorant, but simply stating it's ignorant is ignorance.

[SCARREDMIND]

believing something contradicted by evidence is ignorant.

closing your mind to baseless claims is simply not being a mug.

[CrysisLTU2]

Jonny Lee already did something similar with the Wii Remote.

[Reijerkolle]

that has almost nothing to do with this video.

the only similarities are uv cameras which johnny lee didnt invent

[luckystrke]

pretty easy,, but so smart at the same time. love science and creative minds combined

[IdleGod]

That is extremely clever. I like the MRI system best, as it would give people a tactile interface to a system they already use.

[someonesperson]

wow such a simple idea, but really cool!

[LTF85199]

u could do this easily today on a computer, it is called layers, this is just a fancy full size version!

[djsuperstar717]

Why dont they use a million layers to form a cube and a seperate projector for each layer?

I think the software would be able to do it;

The initial prototype would be huge but I think it could be made smaller over time

[quosmo1]

- it doesnt use a seperate projector for each layer

- the system in the video is not limited to 3 layers

- the distance of the paper from the table is measured by the size of the reflector pattern on the paper as soon by the camera (see the magnifying glass is not 'layered' but proportional)

so whatever your thinking is already in place : what was it you were thinking?

[djsuperstar717]

I was talking about using a million layers and a seperate projector for each layer to create a 3D image

[quosmo1]

I dont understand what your saying, a '3d image' like free-floating without a paper to reflect it off ? light needs to reflect off something. so your basically talking about a way to create a hologram ? (but the way you describe would not work).

[websnarf]

I am pretty sure that the limitations of the early part of this demo was the available data. The MRI data shown towards the end of the video clearly demonstrate that even the system they have is already capable of what you are envisioning with a single camera and detector.

[djsuperstar717]

To create a 3D image

[J0nnyf]

so cool, think of the potential for something like this

[xChriiss]

Science is simply amazing!

[teemuruskeepaa]

@xChriiss No, then you haven't understood science. It is supposed to make you understand and gasp your breath for the courage of thinking so well. It is necessary and logical, rational and not amazing.

[xChriiss]

@teemuruskeepaa

Just because it is necessary, logical and rational doesn't stop it from being amazing

Example:

Women pop out babies every day and people call it amazing- it's just a baby being born. It happens everyday but still, they call it amazing.

Scientists are discovering new things everyday, and improving the things that they have already made. The fact that someone, long ago, made an object that changed the world is what makes science amazing.

You're the one who hasn't understood science

[holiday34691]

I wish we had that system forty years ago when I was is the Navy. That would be so great to use with charts and maps.

[quosmo1]

what about a gps? :)

[holiday34691]

Does a GPS system list all of the surface and submerged hazards to navigation as well as all of the depth soundings?

[quosmo1]

no of course not but whatever :)

[madjimms]

Hardly useful as we can do the same thing with a computer..............

[quosmo1]

i agree, it only provides a tactile feedback which is only adding MORE limitations (physical constraints and angles).

while it looks 'cool' and may have some very niche uses, overall it wont change the world.

Though i do LOVE the idea of augmented reality, and they touched on it lightly here in saying 'could be projected over a patient' (assuming in realtime) but the data still has to come from somewhere so again : this particularly is nothing special. Clever yes.

[TheTomD]

Wow.

God damn, such a simple idea, but so, so useful and sophisticated in context. Clever stuff. :)

[WERTY1112]

Amazing

[atotti2000]

thats just a fancy UI for an existing system.

[MarcoFriendino]

sometime innovation is just new UI for an existing system.

[quosmo1]

i agree : it only becomes a useful interface once it is augmented with live realtime data (xray/mri) : which is impossible since your not going to be fondling someone with a piece of paper while under/in either of those machines :)

so its really an after-the-fact viewer which frankly imposes more limitations than viewing it on a PC (physical angles and constraints).

very clever : would do well with realtime augmented live data sources but.. as seen in the video, nothing special.

[ZenonDorinPower]

a little lag,but they will for sure improve the technology

[outlawkelb]

seems like a great new technology, it could speed up the docters work by 10 times!

[W4rD0g72]

NOW THAT IS EXCITING AND USEFUL!!!!

[mitsukai89]

i geuss the medical sector puts alot of money in technology also. kinda useless , but handy for some

[larsenmark277]

Nice 5/5

[Iceman22742]

That's pretty damn awesome.

[DaDaWgLLS]

That's so cool!

[S1Teveoman]

awesome
