RESEARCH: Interactive 360º Light Field Display

[@thextopher]

Scientists have realized that the future will be more futuristic than they previously thought. Seriously, this is awesome.

[@typeerk]

Nice... the last demo was great!

[@Marvinfh3]

This vid was totaly mindblowing!!!!!!! Thank you guys for posting it.

[@scarletdove]

nobody commented on this?!?! does anybody realize what one could do with this technology? that was wicked sweet! keep going on that! can't wait to see what you do with this!

[@hhn2002]

FANTASTIC STUFF! BRAVO!

[@linxsr]

awesome , good work guys

[@ZetaReticuli87]

really cool it's reality now and not just in the movies =)

[@gaztard1]

And Sony has had it since 2007. And they said it could be used on all systems. So the PS haters will have to buy a sony playstation product to use the technology. Love that even more.

[@gen0syde]

thats one of the coolest things i have seen in a long time!

[@phoenixnyt]

this is INCREDIBLE!

[@DarthBasser]

Impresive! Most impresive!

[@VincentLammers]

Pure Pixilated Awesomeness! Can't wait to see things move! Cheers!

[@Mixze]

Great work. I'm extreamly impressed.

[@zenwithamit]

Mind Blowing... This is going to be future display technology in multiplex where the screen can be put in middle and people around this......

[@Aflammox]

This is awesome.

[@Juantotish]

i think this tech is amazing, i think it could be be used by new generation console, or for a concert, congratulations

[@Aflammox]

This is awesome

[@siddharthsingh1284]

WOW!! Awesome!! My congratulations to the team...

[@Tzulander]

Mind: Blown. Well, not blown, but awed. This is pretty cool.

[@PlatinumG]

incredible!

[@fuzzix]

Absolutely amazing.

[@weareham3068]

that is just incredible!!!!

[@Clownfish55]

Last 15 sek were cool! When not seen in real life, these things need to animate to fascinate!

[@din373]

PQP!!!! Agora, akelas imagens tamanho real de pessoas andando e conversando com outros a distancia, coisa q so era visto em filmes como star wars i outros futuristas pode ser feito na realidade!!!! muiiiito bom isso!!!

[@gaztard1]

What he said

[@LukeMona]

dang, thats awesome!!

[@skinneris]

Awesome!

[@DreadKnight666]

The future is bright =)

[@oscarfan1234]

Awesome!!!

[@masbhr]

Amazing work keep going

[@srednivashtar4762]

Absolutely stunning. I'm clear on most of it save the end with the running man. Is he running live? like in another corner of the room with a camera on him, because it can't be a 2d film recording, right? And I still don't understand why the image isn't in color, though you get a blue image of that head. How far we've come since Ed Muybridge's running men and horses! Kudos to you all.

[@JohnTheRipper2]

just... wow! very impressive!

[@trueintellect]

Holy amazing!!

[@DaryoushNekooi]

amazing, this is a holographic image to a certain extent. Obviously its not a true hologram, the image can only be projected on the spinning mirror, but this gets us 1 step closer! Really well done! I would love more information and your ideas for the future. PM me

[@TechyBen]

This is great. It was done in 2007 though. I hope it is developed for future home use. I could even see it working on a portable device (although it would be a cube shape, and not the usual candybar/tablet we are use to).

[@Erixofwse]

that's seriously cool :P

[@ForgtheFrog]

Impressive & futuristic. :-)

[@XYZRobZombie]

How in God's green EARTH am I the first to comment on this!? this is hella freaking COOL!

[@pedebevec]

Nope - not fake and we're very happy that our display can give the effect of occlusion. It's a light field display which shows independent views to every direction, not a volumetric display which lights up points in a volume. Our SIGGRAPH 2007 paper is online explaining it.

[@djancak]

i'm so glad to see this

[@pedebevec]

We only do motion tracking to produce vertical parallax; the horizontal parallax is totally autostereoscopic and the image looks very solid, 3D, and lag-free.

[@Jasper2428]

Improbable for a 3D game, this goes to the museums for the epic displays generated

[@neofuture]

umm thats pretty f**king amazing well done guys

[@rekojproductions]

112 384 views and no comment!? anyway, this is awesome!

[@H4Z4RD5]

That is amazing

[@pedebevec]

Cool that you noticed this! It's honest-to-goodness video of the 3D display in operation, but since the display blinks the image out every mirror rotation there is no motion blur in the 3D image while there _is_ motion blur in the rest of the scene including the bar, so it does look odd when you see them together in the video. In person, everything works (although the display does look slightly blinky.)

[@gaztard1]

It's only the video of it why it flickers. Like when u try to film displays and TVs before. they flickered when you watch the video back also. 4320 to 5760 fps. Crazy

[@BartDooper]

Very cool and interesting clever by motion created 3D hyperboloid shaped mirror design.

[@wimmawithA]

That is so so awesome!

[@xaijinsama]

That's pretty cool.

[@HoofCreaition]

Now at last we can have the displays that have been featured in movies and tv series for years! 'Do not touch the screen' stays pretty actual, I guess.

[@CirculationTV]

perfect, brilliant!!!

[@necrophobicbcn]

Nice job :)

[@kamalmichael]

amazing

[@DarthTyranous]

WOW Its excelent!!!!!

[@dondixon4206]

Great effect. It looks so real like it's floating in space that I can even touch..... BZzzzzzz! ...... GOOD LORD! MY HAND IS SLICED OFF!

[@gaztard1]

That's funny as shit. Now we no who and why they put glass around it. 🚨🚫🤣😂🥁

[@karakenio]

This is great! 100k views & 0 comment!? (next time put some music)

[@DakLgrf]

That is the coolest thing ever!!!

[@ovasov]

how awesome

[@tilmancommes]

@Nathanhi89 yes! just about as good as with a jet engine. powerful force feedback :D

[@gaztard1]

Porn to the extreme!!!

[@TheRealMetalsoul]

Wow!!

[@ramsicle]

It is very awesome, but there are still blind areas identified. If you look closer to the spinning mirror you see a cone like shape where I believe images can not be displayed. I believe this is referred to as dead zones. How ever still very impressive work, well done.

[@FractalLounge]

Just one Question. Would my own optical visual 'eyeballs' refresh rate need to be the same as the camera used here to see this hologram?

[@deerwoodproductions]

Holy shit. This is awesome.

[@Sugargauge]

fantastic!

[@kingofqwerty]

Very cool idea!

[@JoeyIngles]

Love it, Love it, Love it...but couldn't we at least us an HD camera to film it?

[@gaztard1]

Especially since its 4300 to 5700 fps processing it.

[@physicsming]

so cool~~~~~

[@krakatoa16]

Wow!

[@hest0n]

Parece totalmente sacado de un comic de ciencia ficción. Muy impresionante que pueda hasta representar imagenes reales en movimiento, ahora solo falta que se pueda reproducir a tiempo real!

[@pedebevec]

Totally. That's why it's in Lexan which would be bulletproof if it were just a bit thicker.

[@LisergicoRojo]

they are working on it man, they threw in some tie-fighters though, give them some credit. they ARE nerds

[@CesarSSb]

Awesome.

[@hennytube]

WOW.. super cool closest i gave seen till now that convinces through 360 walk round ..clear image.. Simi- holografic. perhaps pre cursos to being able to keep metal particels in same position in a vacume. and spun sith elctro magnets.. as reflectos.

[@djminervaITA]

WOW!

[@pcred567]

Just purely out of curiosity, what is projecting the light onto the mirror? It probably has the fastest refresh rate of anything... ever.

[@gaztard1]

4320 to 5760 fps

[@Inbetrieb]

@Momo5775 i saw it life at VFX (european siggraph) in Stuttgart 2008...with this T-Fighter thing. It´s real.

[@Roshkin]

I want one of those.

[@CSRedRat]

Best 3D! You are great! What news?

[@Inbetrieb]

@Momo5775 i saw it live at VFX (european siggraph) in Stuttgart 2008...with this T-Fighter thing. It´s real.

[@gaztard1]

Yes it is. They first showed it in 2007. Now all the non playstation people will have to buy a sony product for there systems. Sony said it would also work with xbox scarlett and switch 2. The the playstation haters if they want this product they will have to buy a sony product.😎

[@Sunshrine2]

Goddamn great IDEA!!

[@Cl0udgard3n]

@Thepoliticman did you watch this to the end?

[@ricochet188]

@Momo5775 It's real, the distortions are because of the camera's shutter speed (refresh rate?) and the shape of the mirror spinning if you view it at it's corners there is some distortion... it's tough to explain just take my word for it.

[@ClintRobison]

Awesome

[@Purjostuff]

Cool! :D

[@514kia]

Mr nader i told you they had already made one

[@MrAchronos]

@NinjaMotion No probably for showing the layout of a buildings inside or maybe what a person looks like . Nothing crazy just for showing images to an entry team so they can be better prepared. I don't think it could be used as a weapon.

[@alexander2310703806]

This is Via motion Tracking ?

[@nna7yk]

Instead of running man, I think, the following message would have made this hologram-video top-famous on the Tube, am I right? Pr. Leia. "Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, You're my only hope! "

[@FirestoneX]

Ok.. This is a few years old now.... When can I have one??

[@NetteFraulein]

awesome

[@pedebevec]

We have to render our 3D objects within a few inches of the display surface, but there's at least a continuous 5" cylinder of volume we can render into successfully.

[@JDster4ever]

@FirestoneX well..; you can make one if you had a mirror strapped to a realy fast moter

[@lordtaw]

That is due to the cameras frame rate and the "frame rate" of the display. What you see here is real, its technology is similar to those persistence of vision displays. The mirrors rotational axis is a circle. They break the circle up into pieces (lets say 1 degree) so for each degree the image is rendered for that angle and projected the instant the mirror is in the proper position. Mirror speed and projection frame rate must be in perfect sync. Laser-vector projection is very similar as well.

[@grip2010dc]

Fantastic

[@jesseralston]

@UHYVE - Or any of the sequences of darth talking to sidious! But they have a tie fighter so I'm ok with it.

[@tazdevilman1]

daaaaammmn I want it.

[@kcunit333]

@blackpunkemo UUUU GENIUS :)

[@Caoderrick]

OMG~~~~ ！！！ the futher we imaged getting closer!!

[@paul.g.doucette]

Where can I buy one!

[@leandrolefa]

Impressive!!!!!!!

[@savantskie]

That is very cool

[@pedebevec]

It makes some noise but it's not too annoying and could be reduced with some better bearings.
