Never knew this was possible. I hope some huge company with lots of resources jumps on this and drives up the resolution and price.

Also check out the company named "Light Field Displays" for stunning displays. Not exactly the same as volumetric. Arguably better in some ways. Definitely more expensive though.

Check out Voxon [1]. From the specs and youtube videos it seems like it's working on the same principle (rotating LED screen). Fun fact, it was co-founded by none other than Ken Silverman (the creator of Build engine) [2]. They've been pushing commercialization of this technology for years now.

My son works on this. It's pretty cool tech.
>drives up the resolution and price.
Uh, I get the former but why the latter?
meant down :p
Why would they?
I mean, I think it's SUPER cool and would not mind one sitting on my desk.
But from a product standpoint...? It doesn't scale well in size, resolution or refresh rate.
VR is pretty much better if you want a the kind of immersion I think you'd be looking for, and even selling that is hard.
Looking Glass displays (not the "hololuminescent" ones) solve many of the same things (multiple viewers, no glasses) while looking good, and in principle you could build a cube out of them, although the display can't be seen from the full 180 degrees.
