True 3D holographic displays are something that one would have thought we would have by now. After all, the idea has been around in sci-fi for years, and it seems like it would be fairly simple to do. However, the creation of such a device that is practical for use has proven to be quite difficult to make.

A team from USC has constructed a device that can create 3D images which are viewable from all 360 degrees. They accomplish this by using a high-speed video projector, a spinning platform with a holographic diffuser and special decoding hardware.
In the end you get a device that displays 5,000 images per second that you can see from all sides. The new technology used was awarded SIGGRAPH’s Best Emerging Technology award for 2007.
