Epilepsy warning, the images in this video flicker at a high rate​

This 3d projector is using lasers to create a 3D image in either water, or air. The projector creates plasma to render an image in water or air, rendering full 3D unlike 2D screens that can only give a suggestion of 3D. The image is extremely flickery, because it only runs at about 15 FPS. This is a more developed version of a projector that was first announced in 2006. It is developed by Burton and co-developed by AIST and Keio University.

the flicker is probably even more enhanced by the way video recording works.
but this is great, one of the 2 biggest problems with holographic projections star-trek style seemed to me to be projecting in mid-air without a physical surface to project on (the other would be making the projection solid)
looks like this brings us at star-wars levels with holographic technology.

Okay. That's really cool. Has anyone noticed that the projector is very limited?

1. It is monochromatic. Images are green, and will be green due to obvious limitations of the lightsource used.
2. It only shows incredibly simple objects.
3. It is prone to quick wear-and-tear due to rapidly moving mechanical parts.
4. It flickers. Alot. 15 FPS is not much for now.

I'll have my standard "illusion" 3D "holograms" instead, even if it takes a few mirrors to create the effect.

Rather than liquids, this system uses reflections.

EDIT: These new YT codes are blerght! 3 edits, no effect. >>

the voice over said, that full colour would be more than possible using different colour beams in combination, that's how TV works don't ya know.

2. It only shows incredibly simple objects.
Again, not really the point, 50,000 dot's per frame should be enough for reasonable graphics, especially on a small scale.

3. It is prone to quick wear-and-tear due to rapidly moving mechanical parts.
Give it time...

4. It flickers. Alot. 15 FPS is not much for now.
The flickering is more likely because of timing differences between the display and the camera, try pointing your video camera at a CRT monitor, you'll get flickering that you just don't see with the human eye.

The above system can be done in AIR, no liquid or mirrors required. Do people even watch and listen to these videos before making comments that totally contradict what they have been told/shown?

I've watched the video and listened to it, I'm just not impressed by the final effect. I choose the second method by comparison.

I mentioned liquids mainly because this effect is easier to achieve in them. Air is still rather "blerght" as we can see in the forementioned video.

The idea is to immitate a 3D object, and in that department, the latter "projector" simply "looks better".

Why so serious Spinal, why so serious? :P

ow fuck, my eyes

In all seriousness, it's a great concept with poor implementation at this stage. Interesting, but I don't think there's gonna be a really usable or useful version anytime before at least 2020.

Everybody who is criticizing does realize that this is gonna get better in time.....Ya'll act as if this is a final product or some ish.

But anyways...I do wish that had shown better objects, but I understand the dot limit. Anyway, I am still impressed and I'm interested to see where this goes in the years to come.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
