I apologize if this has been posted before. And also, Please move this to where it needs to be if not here.


Ok this is so cool. People are coming up with the something new everyday. I can tell there will be some pretty awesome video games pretty soon.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed 3D holograms that can be touched with bare hands. Generally, holograms can't be felt because they're made only of light. But the new technology adds tactile feedback to holograms hovering in 3D space.

Here is the link to the article.

yup Project Blue Beam,right on schedule..lol

Not exactly how I imagined it would be like, but still amazing. Looks quite expensive. I wonder how many years it will take till it`s available and in what applications, beside from video games, it will hit the market.

If its finally come out to public,
How long ago was it originally done (i mean with top high up scientists etc)
and isnt Japan meant to be 5 years ahead of us technologically?

Yup, the "Holodeck" is coming soon,lol...

Good thread, looks interesting.
