“What we see in films and call holograms are typically volumetric displays,” said Bouzbib, the lead author of the work. “These are graphics that appear in mid-air and can be viewed from various angles without the need for wearing virtual reality glasses. They are called true-3D graphics.”
Here is a link to the PDF that details the work: hal.science/…/FlexiVol___CHI25 (2).pdf
I’m working on a 3d realtime hologram that you can fuck, with the obvious tech limitation that, since you can’t touch it, it feels like slamming your dick into open air
i call it “your mom”
Enter the fleshlight. No, please! C’mon in! The gears are churning and the gel is moist!
This one projects the image onto a bunch of vibrating rubber bands. I don’t think there’s a long term market for this. It’s a clever idea though that fixes the hazards of a solid diffuser (like those godawful fan-based volumetric displays).
you look lonely… I can fix that.
that is old. remember 2014: newatlas.com/…/35032/
That research was more about the haptics. This new research is more about projecting a volumetric hologram that can also be interacted with directly.
Here’s a video explainer about the research: www.youtube.com/watch?v=trQWfmH2OO4
I’m not sure touching is important. Have a touchpad for rotation if you are too lazy to physically move around object. Buttons for 45^*^ rotations at a time would be even cheaper. Then, if purpose of display is to have many people around it, for “presentation purposes”, then a 2d screen and 3d rotation software will show objects in much better resolution and cheapest of all, while focusing on angle that matches presentation point.

i took “touchable” to mean you could literally feel the shape with your senses, but it appears what they are saying is it’s a way to interact with it, via pass through in various ways, etc. still pretty cool though

Perhaps pokable is a more apt description.

“Pokable” was my first hope too, but it doesn’t look so.

There are touchable graphics at the expo in Osaka. I think they‘re created by sonic waves and feel „fluffy“.

i guess they just mean like a “touch”screen UI.
