Holodeck 1.0? Star Trek-style 3-D displays make their debut
June 5, 2008 | Source: PhysOrg.com
The EU-funded Coherent research project has developed a 3-D display called the HoloVizio.
The HoloVizio is a 3-D screen that will allow designers to visualize true 3-D models of objects, such as models for the medical sector and a collaborative design review system for the automotive industry. Users can manipulate the models by waving their hands in front of the screen.
The aim of the project is to support real-time collaborative 3-D interaction between geographically distributed teams. Users do not need goggles, and the 3-D image is maintained as they move about.
