Zspace interactive holographic 3D display
From
Infinite Z has a virtual holographic 3D display and pen input device that goes by the name zSpace. This technology combines stereoscopic images with infrared cameras that actually track head and hand movements to construct a more realistic holographic effect.
For the zSpace illusion to work, you need to wear a pair of special glasses. Not only do the glasses perform the required image separation for stereoscopy, but they also have embedded infrared reflectors to help the system track your head. This allows you to move your head so that you can view a hovering object from different perspectives. The screen actually changes what is being displayed based on where you’re looking at it. This innovation allows the illusion of three dimensions to work much more effectively. The system has real-world uses now in architecture and medicine.
The zSpace is designed for professionals working in fields like 3D modeling, so it is priced accordingly. It’s available for $3,995 and people enrolled in Infinite Z’s developer program can buy a device for only $1,500.
“Virtual Holographic 3-D,” also lets you manipulate virtual objects as if they really were floating just inches in front of you. The special stylus connected to the display also contains sensors that allow its movement to be tracked in three dimensions. You can use the stylus to “grab” parts of the virtual image in front of you and move them around in 3-D space.
