Researchers at the Public University of Navarre in Pamplona, Spain, have developed a new device that renders 3D graphics, allowing users to reach in and manipulate virtual objects. This technology has the potential to revolutionize hands-on educational tools, museum exhibits, 3D artwork, and video games. The device uses elastic strips to create a seamless interaction with mid-air graphics, making it feel like a real 3D object.
Forecast for 6 months: Expect to see the first commercial applications of this technology in educational settings, such as interactive science exhibits and hands-on learning tools.
Forecast for 1 year: As the technology becomes more widely available, we can expect to see its integration into various industries, including gaming, architecture, and product design.
Forecast for 5 years: The widespread adoption of interactive 3D displays is likely to transform the way we interact with digital information, making it more immersive and engaging. We can expect to see the development of new business models and revenue streams based on this technology.
Forecast for 10 years: By 2033, interactive 3D displays are likely to become a standard feature in many aspects of our lives, from education and entertainment to healthcare and commerce. The technology will continue to evolve, with advancements in areas such as haptic feedback, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.
