Three dimensional projection
Geekologie recently featured a 360 Degree Light Field Display, which sounds pretty vanilla… what is that, a panel of LCDs that surround you? Actually, this is very exciting technology: it’s the closest equivalent to the three dimensional display we see in movies that we currently have. The technology combines a extremely fast spinning specially shaped mirror with a custom image output system to project objects in three dimensions, which you can actually walk around as if they really existed. Plus there are no special glasses required.
The video of the phenomenon, combined with the demonstration of the scanning and subsequent reproduction of a three dimensional object, is pretty stunning. However, the running man animation at the end is the single most stunning display demonstration I have ever seen.
