I've seen lots of those tacky executive desk toys that have been doing that with parabolic mirrors for years now.<br><br>"We can even realize a 3D image of a human if we only substantially enlarge the device size. However, the top and bottom, concavity and convexity of the 3D image will be displayed in reverse" -- Now that's kind of neat... I don't know why I'd want to project a floating inside-out image of myself, but it's nice to know I now can..  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bobdole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2006 3:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT and Kobe University team up to form "floating visual" 3D display]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/03/nict-and-kobe-university-team-up-to-form-floating-visual-3d-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/03/nict-and-kobe-university-team-up-to-form-floating-visual-3d-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[This looks like an analog version of the display where they have to have the actual object being represented present. Once they master that then they can move onto recording data for later playback without the objects present, and then we will be one step closer to reproducing an accurate r2d2 model.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2006 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT and Kobe University team up to form "floating visual" 3D display]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/03/nict-and-kobe-university-team-up-to-form-floating-visual-3d-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/03/nict-and-kobe-university-team-up-to-form-floating-visual-3d-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[Isn't this similar to the effect used in Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction?
