Sony new amazing holographic technology!

Sony converts whole room into virtual reality


Source

During a recent technology demonstration, Sony engineers showed off a striking application of a type of virtual reality that’s probably better known as “augmented reality.”

By overlaying 3D graphics onto the real world, a computer can make objects more informative, more useful or more entertaining. And in this case, Sony managed to turn the whole room into an augmented reality paradise with a lush tree canopy and birds flying overhead.

So it looks that the "holograpchic decks" that we all know from some movies and TV shows are less and less fiction this days, but just reality instead.

The video is in Japanese, sad, but just the images speak very well by itself!
See untill the end, quite amazing and IMO just suberb.

Enjoy

Link doesn't work.

It's a long way from the Walkman.

Now that was cool!

Instead of putting a beach in our living room, we went outside to enjoy it.

Seriously tho, this is pretty cool as well. But how do you interact with it? It looks like visual only so far.

I can see the beauty of it but I think it would get old very fast on a personal use level. The benefits will be in the sciences, architecture, space etc, IMO.

Thanx

Terrible sorry, i correct it

Thanks alot

Forget 3D, this looks like the way to go.

I still don't see how this is like a holodeck - it's not interactive.

For anyone to interact with it they'd need to wear a headset that displayed the imagery, and all we're seeing is what the screen shows, not what the people are seeing in front of them...

We're a long way from holodecks, I'm afraid..

It nice but not a hologram.

It's real time 3D camera tracking. And that data is mixed with a rendered 3D environment. ON screen.

Those people in the audience did see this on screen, not as a holographic projection.

Very true, but it looks like the right steps so we can get there one day, maybe sooner then we think
It's amazing technology! Just imagine this technology adopted by the video game industries...WOW

(Sorry for my bad English).

Making the room interactive is easily done, all you need to use would be a couple of camera's with the x box kinect sort of software. Piece of cake, Microsoft have got a similar video, and there quality of image is better. Not got the link to hand, using my mobile.

I will really REALLY love my ps4...

Wow... no words.

Thanks for sharing!

more and more it looks like star trek creator, gene roddenberry's vision of the future is accurate. i think he was a modern day nostradamus, who instead of using coded quatrains, used his "fictional" television shows to relay a glimpse of the future.

there are just to many of his inventions, that are either reality, like the cell phone and ipad, or being worked on clandestinely or in public by the military and/or corporations to be chance.

some of his predictions, that are only hinted on his shows, are world war 3 and eugenic wars.

I come from a time when pens needed ink cartridges, there was no such thing as panty-hose and you had to actually get off the couch to change the channel on your black & white t.v. set. We've come a long way, baby! My question is...if this is what science is showing the public now, what are they NOT showing us yet. There seems to be a "quickening" of sorts happening in the sciences and in the future, I imagine nothing to be impossible.

thats realy cool thanks for posting s+f

I agree with that for sure, the computer can interpret the world around it from the POV of the camera, as the demo showed, so it's seeing the space that people interact with and in that cyber world it is possible for a lot of novel ideas to come up.

We know processing power is able to replicate a very basic world and use physics that emulate real world physics... all we're waiting for is the technology to display it in a real world environment.

I'd love to play COD4 in a real 3D space, but I envisage a problem with holding my keyboard and mouse while running on the spot... Oo

Pens still need ink!

Man, I've posted this video a number of times.... It doesn't seem to catch on, lol.. Maybe I suck (shut up whoever just perked up!)

If you think what they are showing here is an ice berg tip, you need to get thinking old man!!!



That should give you an idea where we're headed.

That's quite impressive! S&F

Personally, I cannot wait until Call of Duty: Living Room Warfare comes out.

Stuff the computer games, BRING ON THE 3D HOLOGRAPHIC PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly what i think also dear friend.
Particulary about the military and governement, and they'r secret experiments and labs. What they could realy do in technology this days must be trully amazing and mind blowing indeed!
