A holodeck is a simulated reality facility located on starships and starbases in the fictional Star Trek universe. The holodeck was first seen in the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Encounter at Farpoint"Needles to say, this is science fiction, right?? Well...
The HoloVizio is a 3-D screen that will allow designers to visualise true 3-D models of cars, engines or components. Better yet, gesture recognition means that observers can manipulate the models by waving their hands in front of the screen. The function offers enormous scope for collaboration across the globe.Said system runs on Linux and Windows and uses Voxels to generate 3D imagery without the need for glasses. (Voxel processing is a means of visualizing 3-dimensional shapes and structures implied by a series of cross-sectional images.) Cost of same probably necessitates a bank roll the size of Bill Gates' but, as people know, tech advances at double exponential speeds so one of the babies will sell at, god forbid, Walmart, for 29.95 around the year 2020.
