[Discussion] iHologram: 3D App Converts iPhone into Window to Alternative World

**TatesMan** · 08-23-2008 04:00 AM

I am still stunned since i saw the video of this Application

its really something neat

Description: The application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3d scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.

See the video urselves in the following link

and its in Gizmodo too

EDIT: Confirmed fake

Looks really cool! Hope devs will use this technique in upcoming games.

I have idea. In the end of this video, he lifted his iphone so that we see video facing screen, without any angle....so...someone should make that 2 sec in loop and crop so that we anly see "walking cat"...and upload it to youtube so that we can try it on our iphones...maybe it works. Just a thought

'The iHologram app was not real. It was an illustration of an idea I had which I believe could work with the technology (combining anamorphosis and motion sensing). Unfortunately I’m just an ideas person, I can show how things should look, but I’m no hardcore programmer.' I dont get it, what does he mean by not real in this context?
