3-D

Famed astronomer Carl Sagan once explained the 4th dimension by telling a story: the trip from “Flatland” to beyond!

Researchers have found ways of combining the views of 480 video cameras mounted in a two-story geodesic dome to perform large-scale 3-D motion reconstruction, including volleyball games, the swirl of air currents, and even a cascade of confetti.

Glyph, originally developed for military purposes, may bring the 3-D movie experience to viewers anywhere anytime, and then some.

Although Charles “Chuck” Hull, the inventor of 3-D printing, would not call himself a futurist. His invention started as a way to build prototypes, and he sees that as one of its most useful applications to this day. He focuses on the present.
