Pioneer's 3D "floating" User Interface

arshlevon

i have seen the projectors that project in air.. but this lets you interface in 3d in mid air!!! i bet this will be nintendos next controller!!

Just imagine the crazy new, innovative, addictive styles of gameplay that you could come up with for something like that. Even something as simple as a "bubble popping" simulator where you pop bubbles with your finger, would be enough to keep me entertained for at least an hour .

That's a minigame in Wario Ware Touched, isn't it?

Reminds me of Installation, which is actually much cooler IMO.

Imagine how this would work with wireless 3D glasses...

yeah i seen that awhile back.. but its still just a 2d screen with a 3d pen input.. the pioneer display is actually 3d object projected into 3d space and can be interacted with in the 3d space, with any object..not just a special pen.. like your finger or your pee pee.. seems a little different.

Maybe I'm misunderestimating the Pioneer system.

The thing I liked about the MIT idea is that you can move the display to any angle around the 3D model. Coupled with a wireless display, you could interact with a 3D world from any angle in the real world. Then take it a step further with stereoscopic glasses.

Cool stuff arsh, thanks for the link.

yeah i have been following up alot on volumetric 3d displays ever since i seen this puppy

no goggles required..
that was the first one i think.. the research started around 1996.. i find this stuff really amazing.. i cant wait to model with real 3d objects in 3d space..

"EDIT"
here is a horribly tranlated page that is really funny PR

I see the first game being a boxing game, followed by law suits...
