Core77

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have spent ten years devising a new sort of immersive 3D display system. TWISTER is a two-meter-wide cylinder that's user-centric--literally: you stand in the center of the device while 50,000 LED lights rotate around you at 1.6 revolutions per second. (Let's keep those hands at our sides, shall we?) At each position in its 360-degree orbit, each LED flashes different "pixels" to give the illusion of complete immersion and even depth. Hard applications haven't been settled on yet, but let's hope this one doesn't go the way of VR.
