CES2015 , USB tube audio amp.

Best AR optical hardware I've seen yet.

From CES 2015,
Great optics see through display with video overlaid, they don't do AR yet. It is just an android media player! Basically a better version of Epson hardware.

Future Technology - Holographic TV





On Sale in 2012! Still waiting.

7D Hologram Technology Amazing Show in Dubai !!





I've watched this several times.  I think this is just an alpha channel video played over video of  the kids.

They most likely don't see anything but what we are seeing displayed on a monitor. If you notice they are looking up when trying to pet the animals not at the animals.


Still fun though.



3 Minutes in they also show a  very cool 360 surround screen, but it looks like stitched projections with impressive CGI and tedious audio track in desperate need of a story and director.



Nothing Holographic here folks.
