Project Details

"This 3D display offers access to a virtual stereoscopic world without special glasses." 

 

"When users 'touch' the world with real tools (for example, a hammer, a surgical knife, a wrench, tweezers, etc.), directly and interactively, they hear and feel contact and transform virtual objects." 

 

"This binocular parallax display combines virtual and real environments in full, high-resolution (XGA) color."
