Re: Looking Glass – A new type of holographic interface
#3My first inclination was to dismiss it as a gimmick, and really it is a gimmick, but it is so damn cool that I want one, especially if the Api's are relatively good.

#4I've played around with some of Looking Glass's earlier prototypes and was impressed with the effect. It's one of those technologies like VR - very different in-person than seeing it in a video.

#5Pretty cool, and probably will be useful in certain industries, but the title is extremely clickbait-y. The movie holograms that are listed don't live inside a glass box.

#6"The Looking Glass generates 45 distinct views of a three-dimensional scene"
Now that GPUs can reliably generate 60 FPS, this is the next step to push that technology. Because you'll need 45x60FPS for the same quality. And then you'll push the 45 number higher. (yes, I know the 60 isn't visible and has to do with control input).

#7I wonder if it's a 4k screen generating 45 different views in alternating locations on the screen. Thus your new resolution is like 720x256.
From the videos they look higher res than that.

It's like 2560x1600 interlaced

If you were smart you could encode multiple views into a single pixel to get a higher resolution, but then I figure that would limit your colour depth availability.

That leaves even less resolution, in what orientation are they using the lenticular lens then?
It must be less than 45 unique views and they smear between them.
