[@MikeslyMontague]

New technology should always focus on consumer-level products. That's the best way for it to see interest, development, funding, applications, etc. Imagine how far behind VR would be if the original Oculus Rift was only designed for medicine and not entertainment. Now, it's come far enough to be used for both. Imagine how advanced electroencephalography would be if early game consoles had even just a *little* of it, and it wasn't only being used in hospitals for epilepsy.

[@kevinschwartz8151]

I think it'd be better to make it commercial and then let hospitals use it. If it only goes to hospitals it will be way pricier. There are some goods that are the exact same thing that hospitals use but because it isn't listed as "medical" it is way cheaper!

Helical screen volumetric displays, such as is proposed for the dejarik board, have been around for awhile; a German patent for one (DE2622802C2, though it uses a laser, rather than a projector) was filed the year before Star Wars came out. Voxon's patent used in the VX1 is based on a speaker, replacing the diaphragm with a projection screen. Patent US4130832A, filed in 1977 (Star Wars!), proposes using a speaker to oscillate a mirror for a 3D display.

Here price doesnt matter, since they essentially create it for influencers, youtubers, streamers, pro gamers. And they either get it for free, rent it or simply can spare mere 9k dollars. After the initial showcase and hype, yes, i agree, they should focus on medical.

@@colinlai69 I'm sure they do... But the state can't prosecute itself, now can it. And make no mistake, the state IS responsible for most of the IP and trademark infringnents against international businesses.

@@christophermartin7744 wrong, their ip protection has gotten better also it's bs that the state is responsible, cuz it's part of the deal for companies to share ip legally.

this is the most realistic close to hologram technology. Love it.

[@laartwork]

Still not real holograms. More illusions. It requires a screen to project onto.

Wait... So there's a PHYSICAL screen moving up and down at, say, 30 or 60 times a second that each layer is projected onto? That seems like it wouldn't be too durable to me.
