For anyone who thought the HoloDeck from StarTrek wouldnt be seen in our lifetime, think again.

that's fuckin crazy. . . is it using radar or something to determine the distances in the real world image?

neolith

Whoa...

McIlroy

Oh no the frenchies invented it we'll never live it down ! Awesome can't wait for Holodeck porn !

Joao Sapiro

Rhinokey

that is really cool, but FAR from the holodeck, which will stil never be seen in our lifetime.

but still that is really neat

It's augmented reality, far from holodeck, but awesome nonetheless.

Just imagine using glasses as a monitor/camera and using it to add new elements into your ordinary boring world!

Jeremy Lindstrom

if by holodeck you mean looking at a tv screen then yes. Seen this demo a couple years ago I believe but this one went a little more indepth, could'nt understand the french tho..

rooster

but it would be cool if the image was projected into a vr headset.. imagine games of laser tag where people are firing rockets and railguns and carrying huge guns..

real life quake!

Tumerboy

Imagine how stupid you'd look playing it! It would be great!

Exactly Rooster, I can imagine this tech being used in a headset or glasses. You could have a camera on the glasses matched to your eye line and a transparent screen of some sort infront of your eyes. All this info would go back wirelessly to your Wii2.0 Walk around your house or world and have images and games superimposed on what you see. Monsters, trees, and colapsing walls all in your own home. Blast things with your gun which you can see in your hand.

If the level of detail was good it could be a whole level of imersion beyond what we have seen. What VR should have been.

rooster, from what they say in the video, when they show the car thing, they are already using glasses with a little camera and screen to train car engeeners on virtual machines
