'Nessy' spotted ... in Tokyo Bay? Must see.

This is seriously amazing... The future is really well on its way. XD You have to watch it.

Sony unleashes Nessy in Tokyo Bay
You have to see it to believe it. Sony finally mastered the hologram and they made a demo by unleashing Nessy in the Tokyo Bay. A huge 15m Holographic Monster. This could’ve been a huge hype machine for Cloverfield, but damn - Sony just owned everything. This looks 20 years in the future. How will they adapt this technology? Will it be in gaming? Who knows.

Click here and be astounded.

It's my understanding that they sprayed water, and used the water as a projection screen. Not bad at all.

They do this at Disney World for a few years now XD Disney uses 3 walls of water to create "Super Wide screen" and shoot a projector on it. It goes prety high too

Hm, very interesting. If only people were more mild mannered over here, they probably show stuff like that to us... XD

I think this is more three-dimensional which is why everyone is making a big deal out of it!

Really it's an amazing advancement... Who knows what kind of things they can do with these holograms. Think how exciting it would be to see them at theme parks or museums or something.

Truly amazing, to think that they were actually able to make something three-dimensional and almost solid in appearance with just some water and a projector. It is something to see technology change in such a way though, especially in regards to holograms, maybe this is the first of many steps tothe world Star Wars depicted xD Or just to holograms being normal in general. I agree with you though starre, I wish they would come over and demonstrate their technology to the western world a little bit more often.
