Holorama reproduces your favorite scenes in a tiny holo-theather
"Holorama" is an art installation that revives the likes of The Big Lebowski, Twin Peaks and, yes, Jason and the Argonauts with some transparent screens, a mirror and lovingly handcrafted dioramas. After delicately video-editing the main actors (or skeletons) from their original format, they're transformed into ethereal ghosts, then projected in black space. Thanks to some clever tiny furniture positioning, the scene comes to life and, well, the results are magical. Watch below.
Touchable Holography uses Wiimotes to add touch to holograms
Researchers from The University of Tokyo have demoed a touchable hologram at Siggraph 2009. The project, called Touchable Holography, involves the use of Wiimotes placed above the display to track hand motion, and an airborne ultrasound tactile display created in the university's lab to create the sensation of touch. The result is a holographic image that produces tactile feedback without any actual touching, and without degrading the image itself. Check out the video after the break for a fuller, more stunning explanation. [Thanks, Adam]
