The Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) announced an exciting breakthrough in optoelectronics -- a working three dimensional display. The display does not rely on any sort of optical illusion or disorientation. Instead, infrared lasers are aligned to converge and create small amounts of plasma. The plasma acts as a floating "dot" on top of the laser grid.

The infrared laser pulses across several reflectors so that 100 dots can be created per second. The initial reports from AIST are a little light on details, but it appears as though the plasma dots can be drawn up to several meters away from the laser source. It also appears as though the device needs a vapor source with specific electron/ion content in order to generate the dots.

100 dots this year is 1280x1024 in a couple more. Impressive, although the technology has been around for a while (although the link escapes me at this moment).

I submitted this idea to Sony in their \'win a playstation for your next gen entertainment ideas\' comp in 1996. The fuckers just gave me stickers... which I stuck onto my GameBoy Pocket case ^_^.

HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS 10 YEARS AGO! I FEEL SO OLD!

Soon they\'re gonna look like the holograms in Star Wars :eek:

Fuck star wars. I want a star trek holodeck.

yeah.. the thing with this is, it works by turning ions into plasma that\'s hot enough to shine. if you touch it, you will most likely get a burning sensation.

not that I\'d care too much about touching holograms..
/me hopes no one knows what I\'m talking about

I want to see holograpic porn.

nO-One · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2006, 09:26:32 AM »

wow, holographic porn.... I\'d never thought of that. You must be a true genious to have thought of that.

ohh yeah I was being sarcastic just to make sure.
