Yes most research is incremental, it can also look lame because it's being shown in a very raw form.

TED has just been giving people an earlier look at things they probably wouldn't have seen until they hit market and that could be 5-10yrs from now.

It also doesn't have to be about revolutionising your entire life, this sort of tech would be well suited in museums, libraries and the like. It also likes a fairly interesting educational tool, especially if it was programmable by the students.

The "try" before you buy is a very interesting concept, you could easily imagine a future where lights also double as projectors, imagine seeing if that TV or sofa *actually* fits in your room. That's hardly incremental, that's fucking awesome.

Even if only that comes out of this research as a marketable product, it was a success.

Anyway, my point is, take things with a happier stride

It's dead, but it was here first:

As I understand it, the code for Shakesify's vid would be applied to the above sift, n'est ce pas?

this is also very nostalgic for me. my father had the box at a time projector when i was a kid the later he purchased the carousel version. every xmas we would have slide shows. my brother is slowly scanning the tons of slides that my father shot along with the collection that my my grandfather shot.

This is heavy nostalgia for me. I do have a projector still. Not a carousel unfortunately but a box-at-a-time awkward thing.

Is this the one where they develop it in Kansas?? -How many hundreds of rolls have I shot of Ektachrome 64 and 200....they discontinued all slide film December 2012- DC, you still have a Kodiak Carousel Slide projector??? I got two of those one-slide-atta-time gigs, too!

I'm thinking this was achieved via projector... so more like roto-scoping than animation. Very time consuming still...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Amazing - I love this stuff. Can't wait to get a 4K projector - though I won't have much to watch on it.

This one of course.

Is it really Pepper's Ghost though? The example given in Wikipedia, and the one I've seen in Disney's Haunted Mansion, relied on a room with actual 3-dimensional animitronic figures. This looks to be generated from video - so how is the 3-d effect created? Or is it?

Yes, it's still Pepper's Ghost. Instead of reflecting brightly-illuminated 3D models (like in the Haunted Mansion), a projector simply projects a CG image onto the screen. The 3D effect is illusory, as it's only a 2D image - that is, if you stand to the side of the projection you don't see the side angle of the object, just a flat image.

It is a flat image. You cannot see different angles of the subject by moving around so not a hologram. Just a rear-projection screen. You can see the projector behind the image BTW.

Or, just use multiple projectors per screen.

fast forward to 3:28.

Very cool. Too bad they couldn't do rear-projection, that might eliminate the multi-shadow issue.

I guess it's the Gospel Church that's considered more vocal.

Is is just me, or were the pews extremely quiet during this sermon?

In my Catholic experiences, the congregation is expected to keep totally silent except for during specific rituals.
This doesn't look like a typical Catholic church, though: the priest is wearing short sleeves, the walls are sheetrocked, fluorescent lighting, a frickin projector. It's awfully modern looking.
