Science fiction comes to the desktop, again.

Well, it looks like someone has finally developed a true, 3-D display. The company is called Actuality Systems and the display is called, simply, Volumetric 3-D Display. It’s still fairly primative, but it’s real 3-D without the use of special glasses. So, once again, science fiction writers have invented the future. The page of photograhs are simply amazing and worth checking out. There are just so many reasons to develop this technology that I can’t begin to list them all. But, for instance, imagine an MRI viewed in 3-D…. It’s mind-boggling, really.
