Japanese Touchable Holography

The University of Tokyo, Japan presents some impressive developments. The video has English text that fully explains it all. (Video came with no sound, so I added Ecstasy by New Order.) Link: www.alab.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~siggraph/09/TouchableHolography/SIGGRAPH09-TH.html

One stop closer to holographic gaming. I might be 90 before it all becomes a reality but you can bet I will be there.

Unfortunately, Spiked will not let me vote 10/5.

This is actually quite brilliant. Overall, the idea is not very complicated, and is only a meld of current technology. However, props to them for being the first to make the connection. This could have amazing applications, not just for gaming.

I would be interested in learning if they could figure out how to let you feel a significant force. I think the sound waves would only let you experience a `touch` sensation, not a `force` per se. Off the top of my head, I cant think of any realistic way to transmit a force remotely except for magnetics, which would require the user to wear something magnetic. Good luck to them in developing it.

Kind of hard to show a hologram on a 2d media. Or was it this "touch screen technology" on a regular monitor?
