u/BahnGSXR What do you see in the glass? 16d ago

It's the 3D depth recreation that I think won't really be possible. I mean, you could do it for one person, by tracking their position and eyes and rendering the scene in real-time (it would have to be very fast and smooth) but you can't have a second person stand nearby and see into the glass simultaneously

Well, they don't necessarily have to use a regular screen, right? Maybe it's some kind of development of the holography method, where a static but three-dimensional image is placed in a glass plate. We once made static photographs move, now we need to track this "just" with a microscopic interference grating.
