Some of our neighbors up North have come up with a motion parallax oriented 3D display device. This handheld box consisting of 5 LCD (OLED in the future) screens taps into your brain’s hardwired circuits to provide a “fish-tank-like experience” for the user.
Unlike stereoscopic 3D which presents two slightly different images on a single flat surface to create a 3D effect in front of a user, motion parallax uses motion and changing position. No glasses needed. Your head is tracked by the device which also has a physics engine, then presents you with a series of images that have both have depth and can be interacted with in space.
Great to see students learning with the Arduino prototyping platform to create their own interactive projects.
Part of a series of Interactive Design workshops for young people aged 14-19 in conjunction with the Decode: Digital Design Sensations exhibition. More info here
