Volumetric displays

MIT researchers from the SENSEable City Lab have created a new volumetric 3D display that moves around - using a "swarm" of micro helicopters, each functioning as a single pixel...

It's not clear whether the display actually works yet... but what a cool idea!

3DIcon announced that the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) has decided to give them a grant of $150,000 (in 2010), bringing the total two-year award to almost $300,000.

The grants were given due to 3DIcon's CSpace development efforts - their full color, 360 degress volumetric displays.
