Not a hologram in the sci-fi sense, but still very cool. From what I gather, this is the same tech used in a 3DS - scaled up to an impressive scale.
its not. lightfield techonology is a completely different beast from parallax stereoscopy.

#82Looks like 3D inside a tv. It ain’t holographic unless it projects enough for you to touch thru it.
Projection is entirely impossible. The photon's path has to back-track through the device; this is true regardless of the type of device you're using to make it.
I would think that the limitation is that, for both eyes, the ray from that eye through the simulated voxel has to intersect the screen.
There are voxels in front of the screen for which that holds.

#84> That’s why five years ago, my co-founder Alex and I started a company to prove that holographic displays were possible This is spam
A startup putting out a technically interesting product seems relevant to me.

Re: Colossal Holograms
#86The video game Prey2 features similar technology also called LookingGlass. It has a fairly prominent role in the story line. I wonder if the naming is a coincidence or a nod.
It’s another word for mirror and has cool vintage/steampunk/Victorian associations so it’s going to be used by a lot of different people.

#87Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are the Looking Glass display real holograms with light interference patterns ? Or are they emitting different pixels in different view angles ?
Aren't those two things essentially identical, at least as far as the resulting wavefront goes?
The Looking Glass only has 45 discrete views projected across 50 degrees (25 degrees left and right of center). I have one of the smaller ones and it's a very nice effect, but it's not the same as a "real" hologram.

#88I have 4k version and it is very very bad. 4k is actually 4k/30 (number of angles). Pixels have the size of a fist.
Based on that, how do you think an 8k version would compare? Enough resolution, or still lacking?
For me it just have incorrect hm "angles" just like misplaced glasses or something like this. 8k won't help much since it is just bigger, not better PPI.
It is just like decade old stereo camera like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-Real-Discontinued-Ma....

how? it is just 30 layers of lenses on top of 8k monitor.
Re: Colossal Holograms
#90There are two types of "this isn't a hologram" people in this thread. The first is the group of people that think holograms are the things in Star Trek. Those are not holograms, and neither is this.
