iPad Projector Renders 3D Objects for the Naked Eye

[Silversurfer]

Experimental design team Aircord Labs has released a proof of concept video demonstrating an iPad with 3D capabilities visible to the naked eye. The effect is achieved with a specially designed projector that beams images into a pyramid shaped screen.

Once projected, viewers can move around the floating imagery, almost as if they were real objects in space. At the moment, the design is very pretty to look at and very little beyond that. But it shouldn't be hard to imagine practical, fun applications. Think 3D blueprints for engineers, or getting a better look at a new pair of shoes before buying. Or, let's just be honest and admit this will be quickly adapted for porn. [Aircord Labs via CreativeApplications]

scale it up with a ceiling mounted projector and cylindrical ice cream cone shaped human sized display area and they might be onto something.

It this just an ipad laying down with a glass pyramid on it?
