Games, 3d modeling, novel UI - better than 1080p resolution and 60hz refresh means the experience could actually be good, and not feel like a cheap hacky "peppe

  3D modeling and novel UI implies there's a new way to interact with the content on the display. Aside from the shallow depth effect, the input is still perfectly 2D. You can't touch and manipulate a 3D object here any more than you can on a tablet. The fact there's no killer app here and potential uses fall flat upon closer inspection will likely mean this technology has more of a future at entertainment venues, maybe museums, I don't know. But not as personal mainstream devices.

  This doesn't have better than 1080p res does it? I didn't see mention of a refresh rate anywhere either but the screen this uses is 2048 x 1536 and it purports 100 views so the actual image resolution is likely on the order of 200 x 150. I imagine it feels a bit better than that since you're seeing multiple images. Also note that the hologram only appears 3D in one plane, if you move above or below the plane the illusion is lost (correct me if I'm wrong on that I haven't seen one in person). It's not useful in this form, but lenticular displays are neat and I might try and build one sometime.

    The Portrait is the smallest one they make. There's also a 15" version with 4k inputs for $3,000 and a 32-inch version without a listed price. The illusion doesn't have multiple vertical layers, but it still looks 3D if you are off-angle. You just see the same image(s) up there that you would if you bent down. Turning your head flattens the image though.
