Looks pretty real to me, but then again, there could always be some video effect slapped on there.

Pickles thinks it is REAL

 

[OSVG]

I'm pretty sure It is real; however, is It true 3d, or is it a projection that is the same regardless of the angle of the observer?

 

[e MpTy]

According to the video introduction it is true 3D video, 360 degress view all round.

 

[Death_Blade]

i think its a fake

 

[Mobilize]

Well, holograms are easy to make.
But this big and in an open space? Hm...

 

[Tidus]

Fake.

 

[Mobeus]

I'd have to see it for myself in person to say...

 

[Rellik]

short version: This is a fake. Atleast what they are saying is fake.

tldr version: I would like to believe it. and in time we will have something like this sure. We already have "screens" that are able to project images on "thin air" but in order for it to be a real 3d hologram, you would have to be able to view whatever it is you are looking at from any angle. You can not do that with a projection device, because you would need to project an image for every viewable angle, so you would need, no less than, 360 projecting devices, and unless you had some sort of prism preventing you from seeing the other angles.... then you would see ALL 360 projected images at the same time. and it would be basically no more than a bright mess. Furthermore if you watch closely, the images that are supposedly "3d holograms" are not moving in sequence to the recording-camera's movement. They are in fact flat "sprites" (anyone who has played doom, doom2, or duke3d recognizes this effect). So in order for this to work you cannot have or use a projecting device, you would infact have to "create" a 3d object. using some sort of plasma control device, or something that "physically" creates an object. otherwise you will never be able to see a 3d object (because of light pollution)

Lastly. and this is the most important part. Even if you could invent a way to show 3d objects/images.... There is currently no camera, or recording device, to record those live images that they are showing as "supposedly 3d". At best, even if you could project 3d images, you could only project computer generated images. Or possibly use (up to) 360 cameras to record an image from 360 degrees... but that would be very annoying, because the object would have to be basically set in one position,

This is an illusionary hologram. Doing a bit of research, it displays whatever it is displaying 360 degrees all around, but the item itself is NOT 3d. It is a 2d image from a projector that is somehow cleverly displayed on the four side faces of the cube. That means if it showed a 3d image of a car on one side and the hood is facing you, and you step to the opposite side, you will still see the hood, because the image isn't truly 3 dimensional.

However, this is the closest we have gotten to a true hologram, and is indeed really cool.

EDIT: Rellik ninja'd me

 

[fudpeX]

i dont know why you would think this isint real.. allthought the title of the video thats posted makes me laugh

"3D Video: This is the future of gaming"

lmao

 

[Rellik]

EDIT: Rellik ninja'd me

sorry 'bout that.

i was thinking about it... and we already have plasma tvs... which use real plasma material (think: the sun)...... if we could some how control the plasma.... and shape it into the shape of a 3d object that we want to view..... we could then project an image onto the plasma using no more then 2 projectors (one for the forward facing angles, and one for the back facing angles....
we could add more projectors if we needed/wanted to. and these projectors would not be able to fill in the "in between parts" (the parts between an object in the front, and and object behind it). but other than that it could work... we already do this in "concept" of any 3d video game... what they do is create a 3d model. and then "project" a flat image onto it.... and it looks 3d.
We did this in Quake, and we do it (amazingly better) in Half-Life2+

 

[WaterSnake]

Looks legit...

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!!!

 

[Chase]

Its fake, relliks covered everything that needed to be said.
were on our way there, but we certainly havent reached that point yet.

 

[Saeten]

Definitely fake.

 

[Hairydufflebag]

When we reach the time of using real holograms, we could all be somewhere around 50 years old and some of us could be sick of Video Games. But we could reach it in like the year 2015 if we learned to stop over polluting our decaying earth, then maybe.

 

[The Yeti]

What's fake? What's real? Is the video real? and by real do you mean it is in perceptual existence? If so, then yes, it's real. Is it a true 3d halo gram? If that's what you mean, ask Rellik.

 

[General Sanders]

I've researched the different products and services Vizoo offers, and I've figured out the method they use. They use four projectors (1 for each side of the pyramid, allowing an observed 3-D image) and project onto screens that intersect in the middle of the pyramid (In the shape of an X, if viewed from above). This works because the projections can superposition over each other, so it makes the image four times as intense and rich. It's not technically a perfect hologram, but by projecting onto a more dynamic surface and to a small degree controlling the conditions in which you view the projection (it's always while looking slightly upwards), it is effectively three dimensional.

 

[blizbiggy]

I say it is real, but it looks like it is a trick of lighting reflection with projectors...

Who the hell would buy this though unless they had basically a room devoted to it.

 

[lotus blade]

fake i say! herecy! xD
