Hitachi demos 3D real-world object projector

What an informative diagram!

On a more serious note, I can see this being useful for virtual assistants at stores...basically a mannequin with a 3d human projected face overlay.

Think of how many jobs you could cut (more profit for execs) if GAP or whatever had the same AI assistant in each store!

Let me guess. You have the solution and people simply won't listen, because they don't know better as they are obviously not as smart as you are.

Big happy happy egg fun time !!!

Not a wide range of viewing angles, couldn't do moving full size people, but still neato torpedo all the same.

Obviously highly impractical outside of specialized circumstances, but still cool.

I think though, that this is a proof of concept for something else. It is a clever adaptation/evolution of current 3d technology (It's probably using a form of parallax in conjunction with the projector and the three dimensional surface of the screen.)

It could be interesting. Think of a 'rear projected' screen that is ten feet in diameter, with 6 projectors. You could walk around it entirely.

It has some potential to be re-engineered into some neat applications. Engineering, niche entertainment, pron. (Especially the last one)

I saw something very very similar in CEBIT Hannover in 2008, developed by a university.

Most people come to reject Randite Ideology as childish after a few years of adulthood.

Others, like yourself, remain intellectual failures their entire life.

Death will be the only cure for you.

Japan has a capitalist economy you retard...

Very nice innovation from our former enemies, the Japanese. They surpass us in certain ways. Thank goodness they are our friends. Japan is truly Capitalist and they don't have such great numbers of their population on welfare checks as we do. In Japan it is a dishonor to each individual and his/her family to not take full advantage of their educational system. We can learn a lot from them.
However, I doubt that I will ever have use for such a device in my home and I'm not a designer or engineer. I do foresee a clever use for it in the training of surgeons in the operating room.

You are a very rude person. I seriously doubt you're an adult as you obviously haven't learned how to behave yourself in a proper manner. Learn to control yourself. The last thing we need is another trigger happy socialist.

Unfortunately, I can't check those links from work :(

But let me append my statement, I believe that this kind of display will be useful in certain situations, but I do not believe it will become a consumer product anytime soon.

You might ask yourself then, what it is about American Capitalism that has made America such a grand failure.

I have no tolerance for intellectual inferiors who promote Fascism in the form of Libertarian/Randite Ideology.

I have never encountered an Objectivist who wasn't a perpetual and congenital liar.

Easy now cowboy, or you'll have had a stroke before you hit 16.

Endorsing gun control makes you an outright socialist too, Mr. Objectivist wannabe.

Oh current topics: rad projector!

What is the point of your comment? I can't see any. Please stop being a troll and say something of value.

Who's talking about gun control? I think you're confused. Oh and advocating socialism makes you a socialist. That is as far as I know the very definition of it.
