Project Proposal 1
Name:
Jimmy Hennebry (Queensberry)
Project Title:
3d projector
Brief:
This is similar to the video I posted on my Vox blog, but does not need a model to project on to. I saw the technology on BBC News a couple of weeks ago.
It involves having a projector in a dome which projects any picture that has been scanned by a 3D scanner.
You can touch the dome and spin the object around in the dome, you can also zoom in and look at the object in more depth. What I am proposing is to have something similar that has a 3D picture which you can interact with.
Important features
First I have to find out how it works…. then I can go into more depth into the features.
Some of the features will be zooming in and out, rotating the image and changing the image.
Maybe you might be able to move the limbs of a person in the dome, perhaps with the advent of some additional software, allow the hologram to act out a specific scene.
Market/customers
The market is vast I imagine that every one would want one. It could be used for a vast number of applications, such as looking at the solar system, buildings, animals… the list goes on.
Existing products
No existing products for commercial use.
Technical Challenge
The challenges for this 3D projector are-
To find out how the technology works and how much it would cost to manufacture.
What type of software it takes to run it.
Whether you would need to hook it up to a computer.
The possibility that the 3D projector I saw on TV could only be viewed in the dark.
