Sony HDR-AS100V Action Cam – Digital Camcorders – CNET Reviews.
The AS100V is the newest in the line with 1080/60p support at up to 50 Mbps. Because of their narrow width, a pair of these cameras can provide for a very narrow interaxial lens spacing.
These are not holograms but stereoscopic images projected onto a stream of vapor creating 3D appearance.
A true hologram is based on the phase interference pattern created by two laser beams – one bouncing off a subject and the other going directly to the film. The interference or diffraction pattern between the bounced laser and the direct laser is then recorded on film. An identical laser to the recording laser is then projected onto the film, turning the diffraction pattern back into an image. Think of the film as acting like an incredibly fancy filter – narrow wavelength laser light hits the filter and then scatters in to the original image.
This is a re-blog from CES 2013: Interactive, volumetric 3D display | 3d.coldstreams.com. Displair LLC, a Russia-based firm, is expected to dhow a 3D volumetric display based on this technology this year at CES.
From Jan 2013 – a 2D (vertically oriented) display with gesture tracking:
Looks like a normal new product growth curve:
Roughly 6 percent of all U.S. households currently have an HDTV set that is 3-D-capable — 41 percent of this group do not watch any content in 3-D. Overall, 47 percent have seen a 3D TV, or have a 3-D-capable TV — compared to 24 percent two years ago.
via 75 percent of U.S. homes have HDTV set | HDTV content from Broadcast Engineering.
By 2012, 19% of flat panel TVs being sold supported 3D for a total of 41.45 million 3D TVs sold in 2012. Compare that to 2.26 million 3D TVs sold in 2012.
Not sure this solves a problem we all have but what ever:
“What the TV has is voice interaction, which allows you to tell the TV what you want it to do and where you want it to go,” explained Jones.
He demonstrated an option where you can control the television by opening and closing your hand. “(You can) go to our USB, which is playing content and I’m just selecting it,” said Jones, while standing about 10 feet from the TV and holding out an open hand slightly in front of himself.
