This is an ongoing project of the University of California at San Diego. They call it the unit heads-up virtual reality, or HUVR (pronounced like the word “stationary”). I call it great.

HUVR “pairs a 3D consumer HDTV panel with a semi-silvered mirror, around a graphic image on the hands of users and project / or into the space around it is. Obviously, the head of the the user to obtain the correct representation, and it is a haptic device in the hand for manipulation. I noticed that their Novint Falcon haptic device one that is similar to my view, designed for 3D games.

I have a video of the rest of the article, if you want to see them in action. Personally, I think the possibilities of this technology are boundless. For example, the medical research is to manipulate 3D images from MRI Brainscan. Archaeologists can work around this, that an artifact is too precious to be treated with the practical approach.

Best of all, has this technology come relatively cheap. It uses a Samsung TV $ 2300 a head in 3D and virtual reality system, which costs $ 7,000. I look forward to the day when it is as a desktop. I can see perfectly, desktop and laptop computers can possibly be.
