Pioneer 3D Floating Vision: Half Wii, Half Surface, All 3D
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 6:00 AM on October 5, 2008
Pioneer showed off their new Floating Vision technology at CEATEC this year. It's a system of layers: first, an LCD with built-in computer, then an array of 3D lenses, and finally the "space sensor," or virtual screen, where you can wave your fingers around and watch the 3D animations react accordingly. But the space sensor can also distinguish between and interact with different objects, like the Microsoft Surface: hold your phone under a falling object, say, and it'll appear on your phone's screen with a coupon for that item. Second video after the jump.

@yuriythebest: From the way it's described, it would appear to be auto stereoscopic. Something that requires glasses probably wouldn't need layers of 3-D lenses built into it.

Hey!!
It'll probably be like the device Tony Stark used to make the concept for his mk2 outfit! The scene where he was seen removing virtual parts from a 3D virtual mk1 outfit and throwing them in the virtual bin! That was, like, sooo cool!
