Morphovision
Morphovision – the goal of this project, seen in the emerging technologies exhibition hall at Siggraph 2006, is to create unique 3-dimensional images and to pursue this technology as a new 3D image system of the future.
The display system allows you to transform and animate a 3D solid object. The object, in this case a model house, is rotated at high speed and illuminated with special lighting from a digital projector. A touch screen allows a user to choose different visual effects. The house will appear to distort in front of your eyes – this is a visual effect as the model remains unchanged and is actually reliant on persistence of vision (the ability of the retina to retain an image for a brief moment) to achieve the effect.
It was co-developed by Toshio Iwai and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) Science and Technical Research and Laboratories. Read more HERE.
So much for the technology, I also found this interesting 360 degree Panoramic photograph of the Morphovision booth which also allows you to browse around part of the exhibition hall. Check it out HERE
