An anonymous reader noted a USC research project that is coming ever closer to bringing the classic Star Wars communication holograms from Tatooine to Earth. There's nifty video and some high resolution pictures of Tie Fighters projected into 3-D. Still no clear way to project it from an astro mech droid, but I'm sure that's coming.
(CLICK MEH!!)
We're so close!!
This is closer to the type of 3D that will be less likely to harm you eyes.
I don't like the 3D glasses method, even though I have see it well implimented, Avatar anyone?
There are various other methds I have seen and I am sure that one day they will figure out a way to show 3D without any sideeffects or eye strain.
Remember... Where ever you go, there you are...
