This is so friggin amazing. Just imagine gaming on a larger version of that.

how is it doing that? Is it rotating, or is it in a glass cube? I can't tell..

I'm new here, is there a way to report this as spam?

Wow, that is cool!

The next challenge will be to render this hologram outside any glasses, floating around space like in the movies :)

Don't know how would they do that with current physics... well, anyway, imagination is more important than knowledge, right ?

I wonder why? The OP just wanted to share some exciting news (for him). I don't think this is SPAM.

If you read the header for the Cafe:

The water cooler if you like. Topics here do not always have to be Linux/Ubuntu related. In fact some go so far as to propose what would happen if we had now Sun :D

This isn't a hologram, it's just clever mirror work. Current holographic technique allows for exactly what you have said, images "floating around in space". They are relatively easy to create (still frames) - I made some in my third year of a physics degree, but they were more an art than a science.

Man watching that hologram as a TV would be so tiny!

And not very cost effective, if you are like me I would stick to my TV which is bigger.

Does it work like this?

My teacher had one of those.

What is the nature of your medical emregncy?

Like the others who have responded to 3mpy's post, I agree that the OP isn't necessarily spam (see below). If you have a problem with a particular post, there's always the "report" button on the left of a message, which will bring your concerns to the attention of the forum moderators.
