Colossal Holograms

I can’t speak for the 8k one, but I’ve personally seen the small one (9”) and was completely blown way by how good it was.

The viewing angle is very specific; if you’re off to the side it doesn’t work, but the sweet spot is big enough or perhaps 4-5 people to stand in front of.

Given they’ve quietly delivered on exactly what they (as far as I can tell) promise, I see no particular reason to believe the 8k isn’t real.

Obviously wait for the detailed reviews to roll out, healthy skepticism (for example I have no idea what the SDK is like; perhaps it’s only capable of rendering specific types of 3D content)... but this isn’t a scam.

That's pretty much true

This is 45 image segments encoded into a single 8k signal. I have a smaller one, and it's amazing, but its 4k image input results in approximately 800x600 equivalent for each rendered angle.

Any info on how it works?

There are multiple transparent lcd (or maybe led - idk) screens layered on top of each other. A different image is rendered on each layer to appear 3D. A single 8k video stream is sent to the display. Each 8k image is subdivided into multiple smaller images, one for each layer. So the entire image is 8k, not 8k per layer.

I know one of the cofounders, Alex, a bit. He’s a really earnest and excited person. He’s been working on 3D led tech for a long time. It’s been fun to see how’s his ideas have progressed. I have no reason to doubt their claims.

FYI, they are not the only company working on these types of displays. There is also an Irish company (I forgot their name) working with panels made by Panasonic. I think theirs are higher res than 8k.
