Media company puts on big, floating virtual photo album display show

There's mom and Mexico floating in front of me in 2.5D

Media company puts on big, floating virtual photo album display show Image 1

A company called Obscura Digital put on a digital light show the other day, in a exposition of the current state of motion-sensing, hyper-visual computing. In the headline for this story, Obscura Digital is called a media company, because, well, it is hard to explain exactly what they do only using a few words. They are a company that uses new technologies for the purposes of advertising and communication, in a nut-shell.

Holographic displays. Everyone knows they are coming. It's anyone guess as to when 2D will go the way of the typewriter, but rest assured, eventually all computer displays are going to have a bit more depth to them. For now though, our holographic projectors just aren't getting the job done for everybody. So instead, we can project images on to a clear screen, which is almost as good, but not quite. 

This show below is neat to look at, but of course, is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The next step that is bound to happen is losing the plastic remote controller for a motion sensing camera, tied to a 3D display. Shouldn't be long from now -- but when we have both these things, checking out the photos from your last trip my look something like this:

Perhaps we'll see more of the same (and perhaps better) similar such stuff this late August, at NVIDIA's NVISION visual computing party.

Also, back in May, Obscura Digital presented a sort of advanced, touch interface home video player. Check it out:
