360-Degree Holographic Display employs OpenGL

Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) Institute for Creative Technologies developed a 360-degree holographic display, that projects three-dimensional images that can be seen from any angle at a reasonable distance. According to the scientists, their device incorporates several technical innovations including the development of new techniques for acquiring and rendering interactive 3D OpenGL graphics and photographed light fields. The USC holographic display system was awarded the prize for “Best Emerging Technology” at this summers SIGGRAPH 2007.
