I’m not going to attempt to explain how this is working because, to be honest, I don’t know how it works. But this seems to be a legitimate product straight out of Japan from a company called AirCord. It’s called N-3D, and there are many demos on their website (in Japanese) showing this thing off. It caught my attention because they have it hooked up to a Galaxy S. There are also other demonstrations of it working with an iPad. And, well, it’s cool.
What I do know, however, is that the Japanese are amazing and that I want this, if only to amaze my friends for a few moments.
It’s quite easy to see how it works… Four images, one reflected off each side of the pyramid, then as you go around the pyramid, the “corners” of the “3D” object disappear, when you get to another side, you see one of the other images reflecting off the pyramid creating the illusion of 3D, but not true 3D… But still cool…
