True 3D Image Projection
Scientists and researchers at Japan's National Institute of Advance Industrial Science have developed a device that uses lasers to project real three-dimensional images.
Until now, projected 3D imagery was an artificial optical illusion due to the parallax difference between the eyes. That's why prolonged viewing of them causes discomfort.
The new device uses lasers to focus light at points in space thru a lens. The light ignites nitrogen and oxygen in the air to create focus. Currently the device can only project single points of white light 2-3 meters in the air, but their movement is infinite and is only limited to how fast light can travel.
As laser technology improves, the scientists hope to create color images and eventually displays of video media.
