shame it was posted on slashdot a few days ago.. so they had to take down the videos

theres also another similar one that projects an image onto water particles in the air or something, i think it was shown off at this years SIGGRAPH

Ya know, years ago, and up to five minutes ago, I deemed this 100% impossible...stopping light after a distance? sheesh...

now...man....now lightsabers, and trek-like bubble sheilds may be possible...

DANG...I want!

Images from the current prototypes can be seen up to 75°s off aspect for a total viewing area of 150°s. The image is invisible (transparent) from behind.

Unlike computer monitor images, Heliodisplay images can be viewed from front and back.

Notice that they say:

Furthermore, the image is interactive, like a virtual touchscreen, allowing a hand or finger to be used as a mouse. No special glove or pointing device is required. This is not holography.

NOT a hologram. but what the hell. it still looks like it.

W00t 27" - 150" should be nice for cinema's and display screens at E3

"My vision is in, say, 2015, when we switch on the TV, the screen will be in the middle of our living rooms," Herpio said. "I think it's going to be a mainstream technology in about 10 years."
