3D Images That Are ‘Indistinguishable From Reality’ Could Be A Mere 40 Years Away. Holo-Smut Get!
I mean, c’mon. Don’t tell me we aren’t all clamoring for 3D holograms that are indistinguishable from reality if only to go to the local holo-pr0n bar. Walk in, program in your specific fetishes: rabbit tail, latex, water sports, and enjoy your insanely real appearing holo-stripper.
The Verge:
From smartphones to game systems, 3D is making its way into many of the gadgets we use. But while the technology is viewed as gimmicky by some, it may actually be building up to something much more important — lifelike holograms. In a new profile at Humans Invent, Sharp Labs Europe research supervisor Jonathan Mather explains that the increased adoption of 3D will only help the technology become more ubiquitous, which in turn will allow it to both improve and become a bigger part of our everyday lives. The ultimate goal, he says, is “a display that shows images that are indistinguishable from reality,” and he believes that it could be as little as four decades away. Which means that in 40 years the holodeck could finally be real.
