Working 3D Monitors On Sale In Europe

from the ooooh dept

I still remember, when I was a kid, watching characters in the first Star Wars (Episode IV, if you must) playing that weird 3D chess-like game, where Luke is advised to "let the wookie win". At the time, I thought the idea of a 3D display was just incredible. It's been 25 years or so, and I still think the idea is cool, so I'm impressed to find out that a company has released a 3D monitor in Europe. The device is a globe that displays 3D images on the indisde. The quality doesn't appear great, but it's only going to get better over time. Enough of this 2D computing world...

    Threepio advises Artoo to let the wookie win.

    Of course, all this proves is that I have way too much free time.

    There are legal requirements (DICOM) that medical images on video monitors have photographic resolution. Such specially built monitors go starting at $10,000 a pop. If they want 3-D images to have the same resolution, it looks like it will be another decade or two.
