Don’t think of it as a monitor. Think of it as something that can display schematics of the Death Star. Something many Bothans would die to get their hands on.
At SIGGRAPH 2010 in Los Angeles yesterday, Sony showed the RayModeler in action with classic arcade title Breakout. It works by… well, by use of dark magic, we assume (or a cylindrical 3D display using LEDs if you want to get technical). Meaning it’s not just 3D when you look at it from one spot; you can walk all around it and see its front, back and sides.

We got ourselves some futuristic stuff happening here.
First it’s weaponised lasers on warships, now 3D non-screen visualisation technology.
What next?!?

Friday, July 30, 2010 at 9:28 AMThis is pretty old tech, and extremely low resolution. Spinning mirror 3D is pretty impractical has been around for a lot of years, and has hardly progressed during that time.
Jeez I’m grumpy this morning, why do kids wake in the pitch dark at 5am and decide they are ready to start their day?
