holodeck, seriously?
this isn't even new tech, just the same old, but more, faster and better.
at our university, we have a CAVE. that's a 4x4x3 meter box with backprojection screens on four sides and a projection on the floor.
then you stand in there with polarized glasses that are motion-tracked.
now you can move around and what you see is really 3D. there's even a joystick-kinda input device (also motion-tracked) with which you can move and rotate what you see.
calling 6 displays the beginning of a holodeck... hah!
- rms 17y agoIf you read the article, you would see that the roadmap that begins with this GPU is to build one by 2016. That GPU will supposedly perform the holodeck like speech, gesture, and eye tracking.

- gaius 17y agoDoes it come with Minuet?
- profquail 17y agoWhere can I buy one of these CAVEs for my house? Will it cost more than my house? Having GPUs like this could also be useful for research facilities and other people that need to visualize a lot of data at once.
