Oh great. I guess we'll be seeing this guy shortly:

Won’t go mainstream until the porn industry gets a hold of it.

Biden is a glitchy hologram.

I made a diorama in grade school out of a shoebox and construction paper.

It was Napoleon’s retreat from Russia.

I think I got a C.

Teacher never liked me.

” a density of 10 billion pixels per meter”

That’s 1/10 of a nanometer per pixel. It would take roughly 250 of them to span the width of a DNA strand.

I wonder how they’re constructed. Maybe they’re “virtual” pixels.

Some Holograms hurt.

This is not a true hologram but they are using the term for marketing purposes.

It is auto-stereoscopic 3D apparently using a field programmable gate array in order to accommodate the high bandwidth needed to display the required number of pixels.

Auto-stereoscopic 3d is OLD tech. It has been understood using lenticular arrays of lenses for more than a century. But it has not been practically possible because of the required pixel density necessary to show an image from many vantage points.

For example, let’s suppose we needed 4k resolution to be viewed from four-thousand vantage points. (Ideally, each vantage point would be about the width of a human pupil but could be as a large as the interocular distance. In a row of seats at a theater, this could easily be in excess of several thousand.) You would need 3840 x 2160 pixels (standard 4k) for EACH vantage point. So, four-thousand vantage points equals the pixels of 4000 4k displays!

And that ONLY gives you horizontal parallax. To be able to see an 3d image from multiple vertical vantage points, you will need to multiply times this number. Thus, creating a fully auto-stereoscopic image of 4k quality could easily require a device and/or method of moving the equivalent visual data of a few million 4k displays simultaneously.

This is the REAL challenge of glasses-free 3d. We are heading there, but I’m not convinced the tech has arrived yet. When it does, we will have entered the simulacron, and we may have trouble separating fact from fiction.

As long as no one disables the safety protocols, everything should be fine.

Sounds like we are one step closer to Arnold Rimmer being a reality. Next step then is ‘Ace’ Rimmer, his hard-light counterpart that can touch things. And just when you’ve seen every insane thing Democrats can throw at you comes the ultimate bizarro world event. I saw an article on that, “YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP! White, Trans Writer and Producer of Netflix Show ‘Dear White People’ QUITS Over Netflix Black Comedian Dave Chapelle’s ‘Gender is a fact’ Comment”, and you can give that a look at 100percentfedup. I’m sure in Moore’s mind it made sense to do that, but it just proved that in addition to being a DNA denier HE is also a racist. So smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.
