Good illusion. You’ll indeed notice the video itself stays totally 2D if you look at the chair legs while they are moving around the display. Probably works best if there are no static objects in video.

I was hoping this was a commercialization of desktop VR head tracking: https://procrastineering.blogspot.com/2007/12/head-tracking-... (2007)

That type of 3D is limited to one viewer, but is pretty cool.

This is tickling my memory of "why aren't there good consumer 3d cameras".

I have a Fuji finepix 3d camera that makes awesome 3d pictures and even has a fairly crappy but working 3d display. Awesome even if the resolution is not great given today's tech. I'd love to shoot a lot of 3d pictures today and have my grandkids look at them sometime in the future with their then awesome 3d display tech. It's such a missed opportunity.

Too bad the economics aren't working out :(

AI 3D conversion has gotten good enough recently for that kind of thing, just layered translucency is the main thing that doesn't work well. Some minor edge artifacts mostly worked around with dilating the foreground or generative infill.

You can convert your whole desktop/browser/youtube etc in realtime at slightly lower quality than offline conversion with a 5090 GPU.

Good Sir, economics is never supposed to work out.

It seems a bit disingenuous to call it holographic doesn't it? I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_imaging is the technology. It has similarities with lenticular prints.

I found this print that uses 'Integral imaging' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0MP6mW7BW0

https://opg.optica.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-49-8-1876 appears to be a real holographic display.
