I don't know how many of you have seen this but I stumbled on it tonight. It's frickin' cool. The Japanese have done it once again! Damn I can't wait until this technology is perfected and in our homes. :biggrin:

Cool. Now that is awesome.

I'm just concerned about other kids whose perception of reality and made-up reality is crossed, that's all. :\

This looks great. Are there any video links on that page? I find it hard to navigate.

Here's another that's also made by Japan, if anyone still didn't see.

Personally, that thing's cool.

So I see the word plasma mentioned in there.. How dangerous is this thing to others? Am I going to burn my hand if I stick it in the middle of the hologram?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Neat indeed. However, the required power consumption of such a device appears to make it nothing more than a very expensive novelty for many many years. Let us not forget that the lasers are probably very dangerous to mess with, and as such, any interaction with such displays will be very hazardous to someone's health.
I was waiting for someone to develop such a device like this, with lasers heating air... I just didn't know how it could be done. ;_;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It projects ping pong balls into the air.

The Japanese have done it again.

More like holodeck coming soon.

That would be so cool, if the video games in my lifetime reached a holodeck point. I want to have a realisitc lightsaber duel. Or maybe just get laid by the perfectly crafted holobitch that meets my exact specifications.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Looks pretty sweet, but it looks like it still may need some work to get more complex.

Not at all Masamune, all new technology is introduced in its most advanced state that we will ever see it: this is the best it will get.

Ah, thanks for finding me this link again. Someone had pointed this out to me and then my browser crashed.

Funny you should mention Lightsabers, since I saw this exact article in the blog for Master Replicas, who make the force fx lightsabers. They were saying that it would probably be possible in a couple of years to be able to make "real" lightsabers. I'm not too sure how "real" they were expecting it to be.

Megalith has a point, they should use this to make 3-D Holographic Pong. I mean, the sooner we get started developing Holographic video games, the better off we'll all be.

I plan to be around for a long time. And don't tell me you wouldn't want to play holographic pong! Or maybe holographic Pacman or Tetris...hmmm... Cool vids Fyodor.

wishfire · Local time: Mar 3, 2006, 06:33 PM

As awesome as holographic pong would be, I have to admit that my vote would be for the holographic Tetris.

But in retrospect, that thing has to give off some chemical or such that isn't exactly the most wonderful thing for our health, no? But this will be years before it's implemented in anything, so that shouldn't be that much of a problem now (unless you're a developer).

I read the related article, and someone commented that it is actually heating the nitrogen and oxygen into expending plasma. So it isn't given off chemicals per say, but it may alter the state of what is already there.

I wish there is video of it though.

Fyodor D. I seem that somewhere before, but it didn't use to have videos.

It looks awesome, where is major?

I think what Masamune was trying to say was that we have to wait for the technology to become more Sophisticated. Right now it is the most advance, however it really isn't so sophisticated. When technology advances farther, it becomes more sophisticated.

I like this idea, but does the Butterflies picture kinda remind you of the TRON movie when the bad guy is talking to the MCP on his desk? No? oh well then it's just me I guess.

Wow, when I saw the picture at first I thought it was a photoshopped document. Its great and all that we have this hologram machine, just to bad we probably won't be benefittng from this for a while. Now its just a matter of waiting until we get practical hologram machines to hit the market...

Yeah, I was shocked by the existence of videos as well.
BTW, the Major is present now. ^_^

WHAT THE HELL! Where can I get one and how much do they cost??

Fjordor · Local time: Mar 4, 2006, 04:33 AM

Actually, the biggest problem with the system is that it requires an external projector to project the background onto the fabric. So, so much for the idea of invisi-camo.

Yeah I figured that after I looked over the article again. Now I think I can never complete my ultimate MGS cosplay in my lifetime.
