MIT researchers' cheap and small holography system to work with PCs, consoles |
Ó
The days of 2D computer and TV displays could soon be over, as a team of researchers from MIT have recently come up with what could possibly be a practical way of making holographic video suitable for everyday use on PCs and gaming consoles.This new system, the Mark III, is the third generation in a series of MIT-designed holographic video displays that date back to the late 1980s.
The best thing about the MIT team's new system is that it reportedly relies on a standard graphics processor instead of highly specialized hardware. The researchers were also able to streamline some of the system's optical hardware, hence its smaller size. The Mark III would reportedly cost only "a couple of hundred dollars" while still providing resolution as good as a standard analog TV.
The Mark III is still a long way from delivering high definition holograms, though. It's currently only able to display monochromatic holograms that are about the size of a Rubik's Cube. V. Michael Bove Jr., director of MIT's consumer electronics program, CELab, promises that the fourth generation system that they have lined up will be able to display an image as big as a standard desktop PC monitor and will have a full range of colors.

This is really cool. I mean imagine playing like Wii or 360 on a hologram.
WOW yeah imagin playing this on a NES!! wow
screw the wii and 360. imagine playing a PS3 on the hologram...
for the ps3 this would sukk. this would be best on a snes, nes, n64(lower grafx better 3d
The article saying 'may soon be over'.... I don't believe it for a minute. People are trying to use less and less space for their computers these days. Holographic images will take more space - require more 3d processing power, new operating systems, new interfaces that will take years to design properly. It won't be just around the corner. Especially since 3d headsets have not take off and seen the kind of reception that people rooting for them would like.
I dont f'n care what system would do it, I DONT WANT TO REPLACE MY 2D SCREEN WITH HOLOGRAMS! I am happy with 2d images. I dont care to look at a 3d object. how would shooters or racing games work with this? they wouldn't. no story driven game would work with a 3d image. I think the best way to utilize this technology would be to put it as part of the controller. Imagine a controller that can look like what ever your holding in the game. Resident Evil. To examine an object you picked up, you can look at the object on the 3d display and see object from your own perspective. Doom, having the controller look like the gun your holding. Or Gran turismo, having the car gauges displayed in front of you. How cool would that be. As long as it is not used to display the main game, it will be awsome. Only as an accessory to the game.
cool yeah
imagine this as a HUD for airplane sims or the map for shooters displaying where enemies and allies are located now THAT would kick butt
indeed it would kick buttocks
buttolockorz tbh.
This could be awesome, though I don't believe this will be ready anytime soon. It is pretty cool to think about, though.
king of the castle
Im sorry but are you a *****ing idiot? i would love holographic pay, would make the story alot more believable
well finally. i did mention a month or two ago that i thought 3D graphic would becoming to gaming soon so muha!
