This month at a new SIGGRAPH 2015 conference, a team of researchers presented a screen that creates a 3D man with incredible detail gathering 216 projectors.
Created by USC Institute Creative Technologies, the automultiscopic 3D screen is essentially based on a 3D (three-dimensional) model of a person in video and is perhaps the next step from the Oculus Rift, the now-known virtual reality device.
After they "capture" it face of a person on video, using 30 cameras in intense light, the images are then split between 216 projectors.
The projectors are then aligned in a semi-circle around a large screen. Viewers walking around the screen will have an easy transition to eyea them from one image to another.
The end result is that the hologram of the person will show with great detail and depth.
The end result of this effort is quite realistic so that people can tell big or tragic events from the past or present and be captured in this way in order to put them in museums or educational places to tell their stories with a very convincing way.
