The video probably took longer to produce than the display, lol. :D

It's an art. Scenes like this https://youtu.be/Wo5yLfvocJw?t=143 really capture the reverse engineering feeling... The tediousness, the flow state of endless probing until something gives, hopefully the reverse engineered object, instead of your heart. :D

I like the video/entertainment more than the weird display.

I really don't think TENEX could support volumetric displays. Neither the operating system on which the Internet was built, nor the trashcan company.

I've been looking for a small transparent display to use as a programmable light mask in a pinhole camera between light source and the film. I presume OLED wouldn't actually block light passing through. Maybe LCD would? Does the things I'm searching for exist. A high clarity transparent display that will cast a shadow behind the parts that are darkened.

You could check out the LCD screens used by mSLA (Resin) 3D printers. They typically work by masking off UV light with an LCD

Oh, that looks perfect.

Is there a non-YT version? Not willing to sit through half a minute of ads.

Then don’t:

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

• https://sponsor.ajay.app/

Wow. And here I think that everyone I know uses ublock origin or similar. Adblock's even mandated on servers I manage if we need a browser.

And here we are, someone not using any sort of adblocking. It's essential antivirus for the web. And you absolutely should be using it. Adverts are a massive malware entry point.

Not iPad.

That sounds like you should return that rented device, since you can't install your preferred software on it.

It's easy enough to just pull down the file, and throw it away after viewing: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

What's OCF?

It's a few transparent screens placed near each other. There is no effective Z axis because the pixels aren't anywhere near each other compared to X and Y. The "demos" reflect that, showing 2D images. The video is almost entirely fluff.

If it's that easy, then show me some prior art.

I looked and found nothing of this type. I think it's rather ingenious.

This is from 3 years ago. First link in ddg for 'stacked transparent displays'

Also, here's a paper from 1999 about stacking three transparent displays to get RGB, maybe. Not exactly the same, but prior art for sure. https://works.bepress.com/peifang_tian/3/

The video shows some similar-but-better products, they are just unreasonably expensive.

it's still massively cool,

also, it's just a first prototype. as these things usually go, they're gonna be squishing these closer and closer together

Gee. You're a bundle of fun.

Did I miss something? Is it not a serious project?

"Serious" is a scalar not a boolean.

Do you mean some other definition of scalar than this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_processor#Scalar_data_t... ?

(I was trying to be funny. I just meant "seriousness is not a binary thing" - a project can be both serious and non-serious to varying degrees)
