New Rising Media: "Microsoft Research has unveiled the work they have been doing into a 3D hologram system that allows you to interact with the projections floating in midair, with surprising precision.
The system, code-named Project Vermeer, is able to project a 3D image at 15 frames per second, emulating 192 different viewpoints at a time, and presents a counter-point to what technological implementations there are currently."
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.
Microsoft has made it easy for iPhone users to check their mobile updates on Windows-enabled computers.
All I can think of when watching this is; Star Wars Holo-chess set.
Very cool. I was always wondering when something like this would come along, hopefully it is widely available before I get to old and out of touch with technology.
microsoft isn't the first to create interactive holography. again, someone else will probably commercialize this before microsoft can realize such potential to put it out themselves.
it's an evolution of the mirror arrangement seen in the old time traveller arcade by sega.
i've seen 3d displays that used a spinning mirror to make the full 3d obect viewable from any angle, but this is the first time it's been tied with something like kinect to make it interactive just by simulating touch.
sadly i think we're still a long way away from seeing full 3d holograms projected into thin air like in the movies.
the trouble is we can't actually see the light that's projected until it hits something.
so you always need something to project onto.
this is pretty awesome. hopefully the tech gets supremely better and they start working on lightsabers and gundams
