Leave it to the Japanese to come up with the coolest technology. This video here shows a bunch of them scientists with Touchable Holograms. With Wiimotes, no less.

 

 

 

 

Super duper cool, yeah.

just simply amazing. we're getting close to the reality of those old sci-fi movies way back when. lol. i wonder if it's legal since they used the wiimote. hopefully they won't get into any trouble with nintendo.

Cool! I also like the practical applications of this too. The Japanese really are technical wizards.

Okay um... they say they have touchable holograms. That is misleading. The video is clearly just showing a hologram that is responding to the motion of someone's hand. Now when you can create a hologram that you can actually feel, pick up, and move around in any direction... then that is a touchable hologram. This is just a fancy implementation of hologram technology with motion control technology. I hardly see any reason to really even bother reporting it. This is no real breakthrough.

@lolwut

ok dude your ignorant when you can create and put this type of technology into practical use like they are trying to do then you can call this "no real break through" the hologreams responding to human motions WOULD make them , in a sense, touchable, seeing as how you dont HAVE to feel something to touch it

If you listen & watch the video, you can "feel" the hologram. That's what the two pressure pads on top and bottom were for. When they were moving the pieces of paper? That was to show how the air worked. So when we saw the water drops falling, there was probably a burst of air that would hit at the same time. Or that little elephant thing running around in a circle, that was probably when they showed the air moving in a circle in the water dish. Pay more attention!

no worries brah. also, what kind of magic would you use to make light "solid" enough that you can grab it? cause that's definitely not science
