A company in Japan has invented 3D holographic displays.

The purpose of this is for it to be re-developed so it is compact, then ThinkGeek will get a hold of it and make it look completely badass.
Then I will get one and act like Darth Sidius.

Oh, neat.


Someone should make an R2D2 that plays holograms from the movies. :D

I do like how it works exactly how it's fictional sci-fi counterpart works.

Imagine a little holographic blockhead jetting around your room that you could control with a keyboard. That would be rad as hell.

It would be cool if holograms got so advanced that in amusement parks they could create a tour that looked like this


EDIT: Gaming just got loving intense with holograms

now you can pretend to forget that chick on the weather channel

They said something about it being possible to have multiple colored things :o

Two colors, green and black or how about black and white!

Your full color screen is better.

no it would actually really really suck for any first person game.

[Lørd Tøny]

no it would actually really really suck for any first person game.

How would it work in 3d perspective anyways?

I don't think holograms were designed for video games, projecting images, using it as a computer or minor distractions has always been its primary purpose in fiction

[Bisjac]

the "illusion" of 3d on a screen is still much better looking. and in 20 years when this holo-laser stuff catches, up. monitor 3d will have greatly improve over it anyways.

new tech =/= improving on your hobbies. dont get all excited for new stuff.
remember what the wii and kinect did to video games? ruined em.
