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.

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.....

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...

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...

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

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.
