After 10 years of research an development, the University of Tokyo has created a rotating panoramic display that takes you into a 3D video environment; no glasses required! The Telexistence Wide-angle Immersive STEReoscope a.k.a ‘TWISTER’ is being billed as the world’s first full-color 360-degree 3D display. The display measures 4-feet tall and 6.5-feet wide, made of over 50,000 LEDs built into columns, and moves at a speed of 1.6 revolutions per second.

What’s cooler? Researchers are now working on a camera system to capture real-time 3D images of the person inside the system. The images will be sent to another TWISTER through fiber optics, and we’ll have ourselves some real-time 3D virtual interaction. More [Pink Tentacle]
