I agree. If you ever played a game in 3D you don't want to go back to 2D. And all games are in Direct3D. So in combination with the regular NVIDIA consumer driver you can use almost every 3D display on the market - may it be active glasses, pol-glasses or auto-stereo (ie no glasses). The interesting thing is you can see now what game is really programmed well - the simpler games just have "cardboard figures" wandering in space. Games as Dungeon Siege are great in 3D.
There is also a large professional market for 3D (engineering, satellite imaging, geology etc). So there is hope prices will come down eventually.
Holografika's system is quite nice but it is not holography. They also use up to 96 LCoS displays to create their large size prototpyes. So a product will not come cheap ...
Multi-user is actually possible in various ways. If everybody sees the same (TV news) you can play with the light sources to serve a few viewers at once. If everybody wants his own view (look-around effect or even different programs) you may multiplex, ie faster displays are required.
(Next public demo is supposed to be in Japan at FPD in October.)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
