3D panoramic display – Twister
A first look makes us think it is some kind of a teleportation device, stripped right out of a Hollywood movie. TWISTER is being hailed as the “world’s first full-color 360-degree 3D display that does not require viewers to wear special glasses”. It is an acronym for Telexistence Wide-angle Immersive STEReoscope. Within the cylindrical, rotating device, there exists some 50,000 LEDs that give off the illusion of a three-dimensional object without requiring any other oculus gear.
As the display rotates around the observer’s head at a speed of 1.6 revolutions per second, these specially arranged LED columns show a slightly different image to each of the observer’s eyes, thus creating the illusion of a 3D image. TWISTER tricks the eye by exploiting what is known as “binocular parallax†— the apparent difference in position of an object as seen separately by the left eye and the right eye.
