NICT Shows Research
ETC Editorial
Entertainment Technology Center
Japan-based research organization NICT may have been one of the most talked about stands at NAB. The research on display included:
–A multi-sensory interaction system—for some NAB goers, this was their top demo. The user wears 3D glasses to see a virtual object. In space, one can “touch” the object and hear the object. Suggested future applications include museums and education.
–A floating touch display allowed one to virtually “play a piano.” Suggested apps include smart phone control, without requiring actual touch.
–A glasses free HD 3D display
–Interactive panoramic video technology.
–4K content capture
–A hologram (see separate post)
