Theyre a bit expensive right now, but maybe in a few years, youll be able to play games on them... playstation 9...

Now if I can only get one with a scantily clad Princess Leia saying that I am her only hope...

anyone notice how much that thing looks like the Okama Game Sphere from Southpark?

Damn, that's tight! I will still be a video junkie in 10 years so I can't wait!

*look into the sphere*
Hmmm....nope, I don't see my future, thing don't work
*toss it away*

Sign me up for one of those too...except with my name instead of yours...
~Crack

could you imagin the possibilities for pr0n on one of them things!

I'm already pissed about not having flying cars, if playstation 9 doesn't alter my brainwaves and project a world into my brain then I'm going to burn their fucking headquarters down.

yes. :D

Kick ass. I can't wait to see what the future brings. :)

Very cool stuff. I wonder if it can project the inside of a snow globe...

I think there are going to be countless people quoting your comment, with good reason.

coolness

I bet StarWarsBoy will have one real soon.

They'll be inflammible by then. ;)

That thing's cool.. But I'd rather want the Sam & Max version of the hologram.. if any of you remember that :)

Very cool, thanks for the pic. Looking forward to the days, where you can wear a device like a wristwatch and play games, video phone, the whole nine.

Ahhh, how wonderful technology really is, to bad it is going to KILL us all.

You mean Star Wars Kid?

they would still burn down if they were inflammable. Crazy english language.

Fuck that, I'm still waiting for my lightsaber.

What about your LandSpeeder, or Speerbike, those things'd be mega-chick-magnets.

Yeah, but you can't cut shit with those.

or deflect lasers

Not cool, all it is is a peice of plastic rotating while computer projects things onto it at the right moment to appear 3-D.

I still want my flying car, but after September 11th I think we all understand why we can't have those. Not to mention the fact that when a flying car breaks down, it can't pull over, instead it falls into your house.....

Yeah... Whatever his name is?

Skynet is watching you.

Looks like we are all living in the future.....

*starts to chant the theme to the Twilight Zone....

Yep I wouldn't mind one of those, but I'm still waiting for an AT-AT - if I had one of those I could destroy all the other vehicles on the road and maybe I'll be able to get to work on time !

hahahaha oh this made me laugh...
I never thought of the ramifications of a stall while in a flying car.. perhaps parachutes should be standard equipment?

Ive got thie great mental image now... nice suburban house, picket fence, kids playing in the street, and then in a fraction of a second, *WHAM*, a car takes out the middle of a house, cratering it.

And the kids just look at it and giggle at the poor boy whose house it was...

all great technology will find it's niche in porn.

I just wonder if the transparent bulb is necessary for it too work. If not, itd be great. Just imagine the possibilities if you could project completely opaque 3d forms. You could scare the shit outta people...

I'd rather have a plasma Tv

Haha, that thing looks sweet just gotta hope you have 10000 dollars to play with and also, controling it may suck unless its like a virtual thing since you would be playing a 3d game from a 3d world would look weird and control odd. But it looks sweet none the less

I'm holding out for a Shadowrun datajack.....

Now THAT is great! I was wondering when we'd get there...

mmm.. a Neural interface would be great.. something that plugs into the back of your neck, which I think thejoker130 is talking about...

But either way.. that is pretty spiffy.. now if it were only reeal hologram and not a spinning disk.

Oh and a lightsabre :cool:

oh...my...god I most definitely need to get me one of those, and I'm talking about the Perspectra

I was looking for another link that I found some months back via fark.com regarding a different technology that was being developed that displayed the 3d image without a surrounding globe or fog. I can't seem to find it now.

I remember it was something like: o3technology.com but that's not right.

That's cool and I'd love to have one.

Does anyone remember the holographic video game that came out awhile back? It was fmv game in arcades with a cowboy I think, you shot bad guys and it was all 3d holograms.

First thing's first! Where's my spill-free lid?

Amen! First save the future burnt crotches of the world, then worry about Sphere-o-vision.
