Sci-Fi to reality....

Minority Report featured gloves with which you could control a display......science fiction?? Not any more with combining new transcreen technology and 3-d tracking it could be created.

musion eyeliner 3d hologram

Musion Eyeliner is a new and unique high definition video projector system allowing spectacular freeform 3-Dimensional holographic, moving images that appear within a live stage setting using Peppers Ghost technology.

Musion Eyeliner produces images of high resolution and quality that make them unmistakably real, which is what happened when Gorillaz & Madonna performed the opening number at the recent Grammy Awards.

Musion Eyeliner is an open system that uses a specially developed foil in reflecting images from high definition video projectors, making it possible to show virtual images of variable sizes and distinct clarity created using a proprietary software. The entire system consists of a truss box and a stage, where the virtual picture appears.

As far as i was aware this sort of thing only exhisted in the jetsons or a sci fi film, but this is the moller skycar. A fully functioning hover car which will apparentley be able to fly at 300mph at a cool 20,000ft up in the air. Maybe the future isn't as far away as i thought???

Breif

During the next few weeks we are using second life and getting used to avatars, this breif is all about what technology i think will be common place in the year 2020 and i have to make an advert for it. I'm currently thinking about the next generation in transport as a possibility seen as when ever you see peoples' representations of the future there are always flying vehicles or space ships.
