Touchable holograms with Wiimotes

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.

96.9% of voters think this story ROCKS!

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!

That comment was for Thomas7, not you truk. Qj's messaging wasn't working right for me for some reason...

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

if they going to do that we need something like power gloves that use some of the wiimote tech...
