Re: [FRIAM] glasses free 3D - multiview - omnisteroscopic

Especially with the icebergs melting! *Zing*!
...Too soon?

In other news, I went to the holography workshop Steve mentioned and it was
great to meet him, Fred  Rebecca, and many other interesting people IRL.
And now I have a hologram of a skullpture and some knowledge of how it was
made / how it works! Definitely a demonstration of how satisfying 'doing'
rather than merely (although there was much enjoyable activity concerning
this going on too) talking / thinking. So, agreed on the 'demo' aspect (not
to be confused with the demoscene, as in pouet.net, though related) being
encourageable (as possibly opposed to incorrigable).

Thanks Steve!

Very interested in these sorts of things!  

FRIAM should defintely have more of a demo vibe,  we have such interesting 
people and projects out there!

and,
cheers!

 I don't know how many others here are interested in 3D

 They are doing spatial multiplexing of multiview images, channeled using 
 nanolithographic gratings.   Fred and I are doing similar work with 
 holographic optical elements.  There's is better, but then so is their budget.
 
 For anyone else here interested in this technology, I've got my fingers in 
 several related pots (omnistereoscopic capture, holographic optical element 
 design/application, multiview/plenoptic/lightfield capture/display).  Ping me 
 offline (mailto:s...@lava3d.com) if you have an interest/stake in this 
 domain... it gets NDA pretty quickly.
 
 I don't know if Tony Giancola is still on this list, but his early work 
 trying to build a panoramic capture system (his Panamarama Hat) for balloon 
 fiesta helped to send me down this path.  Thanks Tony!

 this rig.
 Cyrus is now at NMTech studying engineering.

 In case you were thinking that all I ever do is post nonsense to FRIAM.. oh 
 wait... *this* is probably nonsense to 90%!  And we are holding 2 Holography 
 Workshops this Friday/Saturday and have one opening on Friday if anyone wants 
 to roll their own at Fred's place.  Let me know.

Josh-

And this is only the tip of *my* iceberg and I know that *I'm* only the 
tip of the bigger FRIAM iceberg.  For the cosmologists in the crowd, 
maybe we can coin a 21st century metaphor around dark matter instead?
