"My dad has been working on the world's first volumetric display or “hologram” the Holovect. It manipulates air density and projects onto it with programmable vectors using lasers to create true 3D images. No smokescreen no gimmicks, this is the real thing. The software will be completely open source to help integrate this technology and make it available for everybody through kickstarter! Spreading the word would be great so that it can get funded!" - Dokels from Tumblr

Screw hoverboards, we got lighsabers coming in 2030

Uhhhh... "$11,950 pledged of $350,000 goal. 23 hours to go"... ... yeah I think this tech may have to wait a biiiiit longer

Imagine the horror movies of the future after this thing gets perfected. Now instead of board tvs and phones spirits will use these to comm.

As someone who has an awesome tech product they tried to launch on Kickstarter but fell short, I commend your attempt.

There have also been plasma based projects... But that takes a ton of energy, and are super dangerous. They basically ignite the air.

Make it display Supreme Leader Snoke 100 feet tall, then I'll be really impressed

Or a 100 feet tall scone, that works too.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Just realized that they showed a progression of technology there. Old holos were choppy, snoke, you didn't know it till he disconnected.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

And... somehow... the hologram managed to block light from the window behind it.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

But IS he 100 feet tall? WHO KNOWS?

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

The flickering made it obvious it was a hologram, maybe he's actually really, really small or something.

Andy Serkis, possibly... he mentioned the true size in an interview, apparently :D

$10,700 out of $350,000 funded with 45 hours to go? Seems like a last ditch attempt to get backers using cool gifs.

Well I wish them luck if they're serious about development

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah as cool as this is, I don't think its gonna get backed

10 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

I can't blame people, their rewards are really lackluster, anything less than $540 and all you get is software (useless alone) and credited

I really wish this had gotten better advertisement :C

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

It should've been advertised from the get go much better than it was, I'm pretty on top of stuff like this and this is my first time seeinit
