Because not everyone's walking around wearing augmented reality goggles yet
Japan's IT services and telecoms giant NTT Corporation has devised a tech that makes 3D images visible in augmented reality applications without requiring special equipment or even direct observation.
NTT's Communication Science Laboratories was interested in this topic as augmented reality and 3D display today requires precise placement of displays. Preparing images shown on tiled displays is complex, because they appear disjointed if a display array uses screens with bezels. But NTT's boffins were aware that that human brain likes to fill in the blanks when offered partial information – a phenomenon known as"transparency perception." A famous example of transparency perception at work is the Kanizsa Triangle – depicted below in which our gray matter decides it's seeing a triangle.
They'll keep exploring that issue, and others, though. Their aim is to create"a more flexible technology that allows 3D images to be perceived in a wider range of conditions" and"a ubiquitous large-scale 3D display that can present a gigantic 3D image by combining various displays, including not only monitors, but also projectors and other display types.
