newatlas.com: Looking Glass has launched a 27-inch version of its immersive light-field displays, which allow folks to experience three-dimensional visuals without having to don special headsets. The tech also allows multiple users to share the 3D viewing experience.
The company's "most powerful three-dimensional display to date" sits between last year's 16- and 32-inch models in terms of size , which all live in the same professional arena as the "impossibly large" 65-inch display.

This is a super cool article and shows just how much we can do with technology and video media. At the end of this year I have gotten more into VMD and how that interfaces with the rest of theatre and live events. At first it was too much for me and was a lot of info all at once. I couldn’t get past file types, codecs, cabling, software, etc. But once I was able to apply it myself in a final project I grew a stronger appreciation for what it does and how it can enhance an art piece. The 27 inch 3d display is such an amazing piece of tech and it really shows how much we can do at the hughes end of the entertainment industry. I would love to see how this technology develops in the coming years and how that might bleed into the live entertainment industry more and even into theatre as a whole. I could a see some very cool productions that could use this if it got good enough to be brought to a larger scale.
I find this really weird. Like, I do not think that I understand it properly. I think it kind of looks ugly and bad. Maybe it is better in person and just not coming through in the pictures. I also really do not think I understand the whole each person gets their own image so it appears 3-dimensional to everyone. This is the same thing I didn’t understand about the Shere in Law Vegas with how they can localize sound in order to have different sections of the audience hear different languages. That is fascinating, and I kind of understand how it works with sound, but I am at a complete loss when it comes to how this works with light. I am also thinking that we have been able to make 2-dimensional images look 3-dimensional with the invention of shadows, so I don’t know what is so special about this.
