How long have screens like these been used for computers?

stanto

This's pretty cool, though its framerate could be better. 

  • I guess they call it a volumetric display. I think the first successful implementation was 2013 - by Gavin Smith and Will Tamblyn.

    Would you call it something else? like a display volume, or a display room? I kind of like "space display"....Relaxed

  • The first fog screen I'm aware of was demonstrated in 2002, and commercialized in 2003 (Fogscreen, Inc.) by Ismo Rakkolainen. See: https://lemelson.mit.edu/resources/ismo-rakkolainen

    I first saw a movie around that time using such a display created by DARPA for the "Command Post of the Future" concept (Around 1997 IIRC), that was a computer simulation rather than an actual system, but obviously based on Rakkolainen's early concepts.

    Fog screens are cool.

    I don't believe the video in the original post is a fog screen, spinning LEDs though?

    Reminds me of the 2D holographic fighting game I saw in the arcades long ago, Hollosseum, have you seen it before?

    The technology looks different. I recall that the Genisco had an oscillating flat mirror arrangement synchronised to the display whereas that SEGA looks like a static parabolic reflector placed in front of the display.

  • I had a general awareness that this sort of thing was possible, but for some reason haven't seen a lot of examples... and I have not witnessed it first hand.  The few times  I've seen a news story or what not I am impressed.

    Hypervsn have been continuing to progress their arrays of spinning synchronised LED wands

    I saw a fog or smoke screen projection system and some kind of holographic movie at Expo86 --- eons ago...blew my mind...

    Impressive for sure.  Extra bonus points for Mark Cuban giving off Max Headroom vibes.  Laughing
