Real 3D display prototype is here

Japs developed real, floating 3D hologram

It's still early days, apparently it crackles like 20 bug zappers going at once while it blasts air molecules into bursts of light.

But that's not the point - I am starting an AVALON 3D wishlist and encourage stupid and unfeasible contributions.

- I want 3d holoterrain to float on the table, animate when you open doors, reveal secret doors and have traps go off, spikes come out of the walls etc
- Floating status info around our miniatures (I still want to use real minis for the PCs initially) like in Warcraft - buff stats, taking damage, spell effects and all that.
- Holo monsters
- Animations to play over our PC minis during combat - weapons swinging, spells launching like exocet missiles, you get the idea. Played x3 scale, to really bring it home what's happening. So the sword swings up over the character, arrows and crossbow bolts are huge and travel at mid pace so you can see where they go, and please, squirts of blood, and some critical hit animations which pay homage to Mortal Kombat fatalities.
- The all I'll need is a $100 surround sound speaker set to hook up to the lappy, to complement to $33 million 3D projector, and we are good to go. Cool bananas.
