Getting closer to the Holodeck

By Doug

It looks like we are creeping inexorably closer to the holodeck featured in Star Trek, where true tele-immersion is possible.

TWISTER, a 360 Degree Rotating 3D display
“Researchers from the University of Tokyo, led by Susumu Tachi, have developed a unique display that allows viewers to be immersed in a 3D video environment. The Telexistence Wide-angle Immersive STEReoscope, a.k.a. TWISTER, is the worlds first full color 360 degree 3D display that does not require the use of special glasses to visualize the effect.”
