Forums - Gaming - Microsoft First To Bring Us 360 Degree Touchable Holograms

SnakeDrake on 09 January 2012

So this is what Microsoft is working on. It will be interesting to watch this develop.

Sony's virtual 3D goggles Vs Microsoft touchable holograms.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

When I read the title I was expecting to see something like the touchable holograms in this movie at 0:48


 

Was disappointed when I watched the video :( I thought they were better and that you could actually feel them like in the movie... but ended up being very small things you can't even feel :( They're so small that it looks like they're actually touching the thing where the hologram is displayed in and not the hologram itself.

Will have to wait for the real ones :P

Youve got to start somewhere. BTW, if they had a hologram like that on the movie. Who knows what men will do with that.



Yay!!!

I'm sorry but this is really, really lame.

All they did was take pre-existing tech and added a kinect senser to track motion. Back in 2009 this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-P1zZAcPuw was demonstrated showing an even better version of this, just without a volumetric 3D display for 360 degree viewing. Also my last comment is this isn't a hologram! Stop in-correctly using hologram to describe sans glasses 3d displays!

 

Veemer was a smaller device. Heck, I think even transportable. Veemer was able to use the "Physics" more realistically. This video that you showed us only interacts with a limited umount of "Physics". Like a raindrop just falling appart, and a bouncing ballgoing in just one direction. While the veemer was able to recreate a collapse of a number of holographic cubes stacked together. Even able to interact with fingers and not just one surface like the one you showed on the video. 

 

See the difference?


I'm sorry about being direct but you have no idea what you're talking about. No way in the world is Veemer transportable or even smaller. You do understand what's under the table, don't you? It's a mirror spinning super fast reflecting light from a super high quality custom projector. Physics on the other hand is at least a valid statement but again pointless. You are saying because one system has better computer plugged up into it it's better? So if we are comparing two monitors the different computers running them should affect which screen is better? Along with this the user of the Veemer does not feel anything upon touching the image while the video I posted has tactile feed back. The sad part is the video I posted is itself lame within the world of 3D displays.


Im sorry but feed back how?

I think he's referring to this

http://internetsiao.com/cool-interactive-holographic-display-with-tactile-feedback/

"This cool upgraded interactive holographic display from the University of Tokyo allows users to feel what they touch from the holographic display via ultrasonic pressure fields. This lets the user feel sensations on accurate spots such as raindrops and textures when the system detects the hand in contact with the holographic entities."
