Now this is what I'm talkin' about:

A true volumetric image displayed in air or water.

Yeah either it was the video sync of the camcorder or the playback on YouTube (or the device itself) but it's hard to look at.

I didn't see what frequency it was rendering at though I'm sure if you could get it up to 60 Hz or higher it would look a lot better.

Looks like many other past videos I have seen depending on projecting in a fluid with dust or something else to reflect off of.

Mr. Analog

What I find interesting out of all of this is that they will be able to render full colour images using red, green and blue lasers

It was running at 15fps. They are trying to get it up to 24/30 fps though.

I like the way it works though, the lasers "excite" the nitrogen and oxygen molecues which then give off photons. It's very cool. Imagine this display after they add blue and red lasers.
