Miku fans may have disparaged the international press for insisting on calling Hatsune Miku a hologram, but it seems they were only a few months too early – Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has shown a table-top 3D hologram of the virtual diva dancing and singing.
NICT’s “fVisiOn” research group call this a “floating 3D standing image” (whether this qualifies as a true hologram is not clear but it is certainly close to what most would understand from the term), boasting that the display can be viewed by multiple people from any angle without glasses or similar lame accessories.
Researcher Dr. Shunsuke Yoshida gives plenty of details about the project he rather cannily chose to exhibit using Miku, although sadly he is silent as to just how low a viewing angle the technology allows:
fVisiOn is a novel glasses-free tabletop 3D display. The developed novel technique can float standing 3D image on a blank flat tabletop surface, and allow multiple viewers to observe the 3D from omnidirection of 360° in seated condition. It is designed to be a friendly interface for multiple users for varied tabletop tasks by featuring our glasses-free method and observation style.
For generation of the 3D images, fVisiOn employs a newly developed special optical device as a screen and a series of micro projectors arranged circularly. The combination of those devices reproduces a light field in a certain volume on the table.
The light field represents a bunch of directional rays radiated from surfaces of objects which are assumed to be on the table. The light field of our method is optimized for observing in seated condition. In other words, the fVisiOn’s viewing area occupies an oblique position above the table.
Additionally, our entire 3D imaging mechanism is installed underneath the table. It keeps the tabletop area clear and does not disturb collaborative work and natural communications. For example, fVisiOn can display virtual 3D images beside printed documents and physical mock-ups.
The developed system is a prototype to validate a 3D generation principle we proposed. It employs a conical-shaped optical device and 96 projectors, and covers the viewing area of approximately 120° around the table, though it is 1/3 of ideal implementation. This primal prototype can float the 3D images of a height of approximately 5 cm on the tabletop surface like a centerpiece in the center of the table.
A dancing tabletop Miku may not be so far away.

Now that they got 3D hologram miku done. When do we see DuelDisk hologram systems to come out...?
when that is done,we'll have card games on motorcycles
Crow did you hear that? CARDGAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!
Turtle Blimp?:p
But yeah, now all we need is a hologram with touch sensitivity!:D
CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!

Fuck the rules, I have money.
I draw the "I win" card.
did you just summon buch on monsters in one turn? THATS AGAINST THE RULES!
Fucking no!
I want a blimp.
This is something Apple is going to copy..... ^^
no first third party apps then apple, then a suit from apple to the developers
You mean pc
A Mac is a PC.
Need a bigger one, touchable and in my room!
If they invent touchable Miku, human progress will halt forever.
nah not miku, but if Luka-sama was touchable.....maby..
Nope wouldn't. I don't even know who she is. Human progress never halts. The next step would likely be an as realistic as possible robotic variant to do all the jobs you dont want to do. You know madness (and I think people who think of a touchable 3D hologramm of a freakin anim char are mad) and war are likely the second and thirdmost biggest factors for innovation, just beaten by the odd mix of curiosity paired with too much time/boredom.
I'd use it to throw out most of my papers though... no need to keep universityrelated stuff on papers. I mean im allready making photos of what the prof writes and audiorecordings in some of em anyway....
hmm sounds like someone got lost on the interweb and wound up on sancom.. go away now fake troll.
From all that crap you said "Anonymous" i only got one question.. How can you not know who Hatsune Miku is!
Human progress is being driven by two dreams: creating a big fighting robot and a small sex one. That's just a fact. As soon as we reach it, we just stop. We sit and let our robots do their jobs.
>See this
>Feel instantly sold
They didn't show it, but before the song she said "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Oh right. That was from one of the bad Star Wars movies made in the 70's and 80's. Most people have forgotten about those by now.
And we should never reference anything before our time, right?
On the topic of touching Holograms have a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3seTlvQtIgc
I hate to make a horrible pun...
But that would make an interesting blowjob.
A hologram is fine too.
I ssee an ENH goer. But yes, a hologram is indeed fine as well.
Well... Hologram is better than on screen i guess.
"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
Very nice for a prototype.
Miku: "U cant touch this" *Jiggling around*
Me: FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Quite a torture really, she is so close yet so far...
Amen :D
Sharron apple gets closer and closer by the day. Time to start into that YF-21 development.
+10 definetly... and DO WANT!
Funny how Sancon-kun users appear on youtube's comments.
Time to make it 1:1 size and apply to Miku concert next year !@
Now if only you can touch her~~
Or she can touch you! Just hope she doesn't go nuts like Sharon Apple!
awesome.... now i want the ero version =w=
The future is upon us!
I demand hologram phones.
I demand hologram phone sex.
I demand hologram having hologram phone sex while i fap in the background. Now.
Increase the size of the device by 100times, we'll have another Mikupa concert.
Mix that together with the touchable hologram technology..............I won't be seeing anyone for next few days.
In re how low the viewing angle is, only the bit of the table that is actual table will be visible. Stoop so low that Miku's head isn't in front of the table any more, and you'll be in for some guro.
Also, the bit about recreating a light field is just marketing speak. What is actually happening, as with all non-holographic autosterioscopic devices is that discrete images are generated for different positions (using conventional 3D hardware) and then fed to the onlookers' eyes. The difference between the images creates the 3D effect, and the sheer number of images (96 in this case) makes it possible to get a somewhat smooth experience when you walk around it.
What is amazing however, is that they were able to make it work. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL7AfCXdNkk for a bit more details. The tour the force was creating the conical diffuser/limiter - chapeau to the researchers! Conceptually it is very similar to lenticular screens or fine (but macroscopic) gratings, although the new form factor offers a different set of benefits and drawbacks, which makes the technology very interesting.
so would it be possible to use a double cone and a solid cylindrical/spherical projection medium to 'capture' the projection?
i did see a transformers display at a toys r'us in shanghai that projected images from above which passed through an angled glass and formed a 2d hologram in the center of the space. i couldn't see a projection plane or anything so i'm not quite how it was done but i suspect the glass has something to do with it.
ok, this is what i think you put a sensor above say something you attach to the ceiling of your room and it takes a scan of everything in the room and makes 3d touchable i think this is the best bet atm inside homes ^^ or in stores they need to make the 3d hologram have the possibility to look extremely detailed and not look see threw then that would be awesome i think lol
Robo-miku would be so much better than holo-miku i mean she could physically sign autographs and hold your child in her arms... plus the sex would be not so bad either.
W8 another hundred years for that to happen.
Imagine the Softness of her Silica Rubber hand if she was a Robot, makes you think of that ona-hole you've bought from Japan.
