engadget.com — Forget what you know about lenticular-based 3D displays, holograms, and even those "real" 3D image projectors being toyed around with in Japan. That 3D image you can see on the site was generated within the Cheotpics360, a four-sided transparent pyramid develop by a Danish team of engineers and designers from viZoo and Romboll.

@Tiak - Well, it occurs to me that by the time everyone's ready to see cool futuristic 3D programming, CGI would be advanced well enough that you'd only need to film the actors on a blue screen. Studios of the future could either be equipped with a whole range of cameras from all angles, or they'd just write software to use four or five and extrapolate the rest -- but humans are the only element which would need to be captured in real life. The result will be an entire generation of crappy, lifeless, poorly-acted movies like Sky Captain and the Star Wars prequels, only with significantly more realistic fake backgrounds, and in three dimensions.

@ophello: yep, they certainly were. Take another look.

Quite an interesting effect, but far from 3D. This is 2D viewable from 360 degrees.Hence inaccurate.
