Are You Ready For Your Close Up, Miss Colada?

Five New Interfaces from SIGGRAPH 2009

By Tom Saunter | Published: August 5, 2009

Just saw these over at MIT’s Technology Review, and thought I’d share… Touchable Holography: Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a display that lets users “touch” holograms. Virtual objects appear to float in mid-air thanks to an LCD and a concave mirror. The sensation of touching the objects is created using an ultrasound […]
