Look, no hands! Blind man is first user of Google self-driving car. A.I. Microsoft Research demos an interactive transparent 3D desktop – Computer Chips & Hardware Technology. Talk to anyone about 3D displays and they’ll likely mention having to wear glasses, or at least sitting in the right position to view a 3D image on a screen. That may be acceptable for non-interactive viewing, but 3D doesn’t really add anything to our interactions with a computer as of yet — we are still predominantly using 2D interfaces. Microsoft Research ‘s Applied Sciences Group (ASG) is experimenting to see if that can be changed, and the advent of Samsung’s transparent OLED displays have opened up a new opportunity in the form of 3D overlays.
Instead of looking at a 3D image, or trying to project 3D in front of the user, ASG have instead used a transparent screen to overlay what the user is seeing. The display sits between the user and their hands, so you view your keyboard through the display. Sphero.
