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 if only you can touch her~~
Or she can touch you! Just hope she doesn't go nuts like Sharon Apple!
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.
Need a bigger one, touchable and in my room!
If they invent touchable Miku, human progress will halt forever.
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....
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.
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!
nah not miku, but if Luka-sama was touchable.....maby..
if there is ever a 3D adult hologramm, then it will be there thanks to developing for miku.
Dancing Pocket Miku, must have NOW!!
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.
There is actually a technology that allows you to touch holograms. Virtual wives here we come... oh wait, they still won't do housework. Nevermind. Nevermind.
You have a source for such information?
I'm interested, even though I find that hard to believe.
There was a Geekologie article about it in the past few months, and you can find some videos easily with a quick search.
Do fucking mind, if I can touch Miku I don't care if she doesn't move a finger around the house.
Virtual sex oh yeah, fuck the housework. :3
Is that lego?
lolwat
the thing behind her is it lego?
nope,Diablock
yes, a lego shrine
Isn't this just that hologram childs toy you can find in any wallmart in the novelties area? You're not really looking at a hologram you're looking as a reflection in a concave mirror, if you were to get on eye level with it there would be nothing there.
yes ... it is the exact same except for using a video instead of a toy figure

Sort of. It's not exactly the same, but works on the same functional idea.
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.
Very nice for a prototype.
Amen :D
Miku: "U cant touch this" *Jiggling around*
Me: FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Quite a torture really, she is so close yet so far...
Well... Hologram is better than on screen i guess.
"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
+10 definetly... and DO WANT!
Sharron apple gets closer and closer by the day. Time to start into that YF-21 development.
Funny how Sancon-kun users appear on youtube's comments.
I hope no World War would break out at least within my lifetime. Otherwise, no one would spend time and money to further develop technologies like this(hint: weapons, weapons and weapons).
Even though I probably still can't live long enough to see the hologram technology being able to interact with us(which is where holograms will really start to be awesome), I guess a display-only hologram system is better than nothing. They need to ramp up research so we can have at least a normal human being size.
lol if a world war broke out you would probably get hologram tech in a fourth of the normal development time. War has always been, and will always be the single greatest stimulant to product development. Almost every gadget or piece of electronics you own was originally made for military purposes or developed from military tech.
Well let's agree on second most... theres as much stuff that can hardly be used by the military that's being invented as there is from the military.
It's just the "ground breakingness" that more on the side of the military. Some times even literally...
Dude, you got it all backwards.
War actually advances technology. Rapidly. Nuclear power for example? Radar? etc.
TV, digital cameras, MP3 players, cellphones, can opener ....
Think of all cool things you could do with this. Like games. Would be cool like having Homeworld2-looking games to show your selected ship as a hologram, or weapon selection or minimaps or...

this is something similar i saw a few weeks ago
That's a white guy with a mustache spinning a house. It's not similar.
It's the application of a 3D Hologram... isnt that the point of the article?
