Holographic TVs? Trippy picture and video in MIT news today!

This MIT system uses only one data-capture device — the new Kinect vs. the 16 data-capture cameras being used by researchers before.

According to the article, the difference between 3D and holograms:

“During a screening of, say, the 3-D version of Avatar, viewers on the far-left aisle of the theater see the same image that viewers on the far-right aisle do. That image may have depth, but it’s filmed from a single perspective. As a viewer moves around a hologram, however, his or her perspective on the depicted object changes continuously, just as it would if the object were real.”
