While cool for the top 5% wealthiest people, I'd be more interested in tech for the other 95% that will actually be affordable.
Quite a bit of the technology used there seems destined to get more affordable as it's getting more widely adopted.
I’m confused what the 3d display screen is? I thought we didn’t have technology like that without glasses?
Appears similar to the tech in the Nintendo 3DS: lenses over the screen so each eye sees a different picture. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereoscopy
A good friend of mine at Google is the technical lead of this project (he has a Phd Princeton, and was a professor before joining Google). I've tried it in person and it was truly amazing. They used some very fancy tech when I saw the demo, so I'm thrilled it is finally being announced and possibly shared with a larger audience. Explanation of why it is amazing: It totally fools your perception. No glasses or goggles…
It sounds like they are using this technology or something similar: https://lookingglassfactory.com/8k
I get similar vibes to demoing VR the first time. My first thought was, "My tech-illiterate dad would have his mind _blown_ by this." Unfortunately, even an already-set-up VR experience was too strange/unnatural for him so he never got to experience it. However, this looks easy/natural to use and set up and feels like it'd have a similar mind-blowing effect for many of the older generations, which I think is a good i…

You sit down and you forget that there's technology happening. The person is there, in front of you. I don't know how else to describe it.
The testimonials in the video aren't exaggerating compared to my experience.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Was this display developed by Google, or did they buy it from elsewhere? Is it still on the market?
I recall there being glasses-less 3D displays about 10 years ago, when the TV industry was trying to make 3D displays the next new thing. I wonder if this is the same technology.
This is a really interesting project, and I wonder how long until Google unceremoniously cancels it and drops support for anyone who's bought into it.
Does Starline give you a different view when you change your perspective? It looks like it does to some extent. If so, it might work before long, but grandpa died about fifty years too soon for it.
