Sony talked up its cylindrical no-glasses 3D 360-degree prototype display last fall, and now it's showing off the tech, dubbed RayModeler 3D, on US soil at SIGGRAPH 2010 through tomorrow. A major bonus of that showcase is an English language video -- embedded after the break, plus a hands on including a game of Pong Breakout from Core77 and our videos from the Japanese exhibition -- showing how it all works, including the eight-camera rig and turntable that capture objects in 45-degree separations before they are interpolated to create a continuous 360-degree motion image. Sony claims this is the first of its type capable of high quality images, full color and interactive live motion -- check it out and imagine keeping a tiny 3D pet or floating, disembodied head on your bedside table, where it can respond and react to your every gesture. We wouldn't want our blip-verts any other way.

I had totally forgotten about this implementation of autostereoscopic tech!slightly larger units to begin with, say 22 inch with a slightly higher resolution and I think we've got something here.
I also seem to remember having a DVD (Hannibal DTS US version) with the extras DVD for multiple angles of the same scene shot from different angles. that feature was highly entertaining but underutilised if I remember rightly. with 45° of separationnecessary for this technology will this mean that some of us be destined to be watching the backside of actors in the future, LOL
