Microsoft shows ‘Holoflector’ augmented-reality mirror. This afternoon at the Microsoft TechForum event in Redmond, the company’s researchers showed a series of prototypes and demos in areas including advanced displays and augmented-reality applications. One of the research projects, dubbed Holoflector, includes a large, translucent mirror with an LCD panel about three feet behind it, and a Kinect camera on top. The setup make it possible to display computer graphics in real time on and around people and objects reflected in the mirror. Demonstrating the project today, Microsoft researcher Andy Wilson showed how it could be used in conjunction with the sensors in a Windows Phone to incorporate the device’s position into the display, as well. As with most of these projects, it’s unlikely to ship in this form, but it could influence the company’s product groups, and it’s worth watching as a general indication of where Microsoft sees technology like this going.

Thank you for inspiring and challenging us. . – The Current TV Staff. Les hologrammes aussi passent au tactile. HoloAd – L’aquarium à hologrammes. HoloAd – L’aquarium à hologrammes Lors du CES, la société InnoVision Labs a fait une démo de son écran holographique digne d'un bon Starwars sans parasite. Le HoloAd s'utilise sans lunettes et diffuse en réalité 3 vidéos d'un même objet mais pris d'un angle différent. Ces images sont ensuite reflétés sur le verre teinté, donnant l'illusion parfait d'un objet 3D ! Niveau intérêt pour le grand public, je pense que c'est très limité, car même si c'est sympa, ce n'est pas vraiment "utile" ni forcement transposable pour un film ou un match de foot. Enfin, j'aime beaucoup quand même car le concept d'hologramme, c'est quand même un truc qu'on voit dans les films depuis qu'on est tout petit et qui symbolise un peu le "futur"...
