    If it works the way it reads, it’ll be amazing (as if that wasn’t obvious). I have no interest in a 3-D TV now partly because of my desire not to wear bulky 3-D glasses over my normal ones, but mostly because there’s virtually no 3-D content that interests me.

      Yup. I’m with you 100%, Brandon. But if it happens, it’ll be fun to see George Lucas go back and remake all of his movies still once again.

        Isn’t he already updating them for a 3-D theatrical release? I thought I read that somewhere.

    It does not, in fact, involve holograms – it involves “pseudo-holographic” images.

    I suspect that they mean that it produces a 2D image that changes relative to the viewer’s position and thus appears to be three dimensional and floating in space behind the picture plane – like this one.

    I can’t find the article from a couple years ago about a guy who modified some Wii gear to simulate the effect, but here’s a guy who has carried it further for a science-fair project and actually uses it with (anaglyph) 3D images…

    (He’s 16, BTW.)
