These are three videos showing off some crazy-ass video projection system that has the power to turn your living room into the movie you’re watching. It’s kind of hard to explain, so just watch and be amazed . Oooooooor entirely underwhelmed, you’re a hard one to please. Oh, stop the presses — I’m about to hit you with a quote. “Thats a sock full of pennies.” You deserve this. By attaching the PlayStation Move to the camera, we can track projections to screens in real time, enhancing the effect of spatial deformation and false perspective on the projections and allowing viewers to look round (virtual) corners, bend walls, create a hole in the wall, or remove the walls altogether to reveal vast expanses of virtual worlds. Obviously this is a shot from the TRON themed video here, but there’s a robotic future and pirate one as well. Me? I liked the pirate one. I’d pay upwards of $6 for a movie theater experience like that. “Too bad regular tickets are already $10. Where the f*** have you been?” Well home a lot, obviously. Hit the jump for the worthwhile videos.

But I Don’t Wanna TRON: Projection System Turns Your Living Room Into The Movie You’re Watching

This is a short animation of a re-imagined Super Mario Bros. player select screen in gritty 3-D with an environmental twist by digital artist Jonathan Fletcher. Obviously, I would play the hell out of that if it were real. Also, have nightmares . “Nightmares or wet dreams?” Ha, that depends on what the princess looks like. “You mean Yoshi?” Yes, yes I do. Hit the jump for the MAKE IT REAL, MAKE IT REAL NOW.

Reimagining The Mario Bros Player Select Screen

This is a video of a new 3-D laser display that can “print” 3-D images IN MIDAIR. How? Magic. I know I say that a lot, but I’m actually 99% certain this time. The system has a framerate of just 10-15 FPS right now, although the company is working on bumping that up to 24-30. It’s smoother in real life than it looks in this video, though. According to DigInfo News, the video was shot at 30 FPS, which makes the 15 FPS projection look like it’s flickering. Yeaaaaaaah, why on earth would a cameraman covering A TECHNOLOGY CONVENTION shoot a 15FPS laser lightshow at 30FPS? Jesus — where’d you find this guy, Craigslist? Hit the jump for the future of…something. P0rn? Video games? Probably one of those two.

Tell Me That’s Not A Death Star: 3-D Laser Display

The Prism 200c is a bookbag designed by James Bond’s Q Cambridge Consultants that can see through walls . All you have to do is lean against a surface and, PRESTO — you’re loitering and somebody’s probably calling the cops. Using ultra-wideband signals the device is able to see through walls made of wood, concrete or bricks and provide a 3-D view of human movement and positions from front, side and overhead angles, making it easier to determine a threat situation before entering a building. And because the latest version is one of the smallest and lightest yet, it can easily be hidden in a backpack allowing someone to simply lean back against a wall while wearing it to glean useful tactical info. The images produced by the Prism 200c system are then transmitted in real-time to a nearby PC or even a handheld device for analyzing, so the user doesn’t look like they’re actively spying on what’s going on inside. Well folks, if you ever catch me leaning against a wall at the gym you can probably guess what I’m doing. “Filming women changing in the locker room?” What the — NO YOU F***ING PERVERT. Stretching. Gotta stay loose. Prism 200c Through-Wall Radar Backpack Clearly Designed For Cool, Nonchalant Spies [ohgizmo] Thanks to Mike, who still spies the old fashioned way: with a bowtie camera. Classic, bro!

But that rug really tied the room together! Using 3-D video-mapping technology, the guys at Mr. Beam were able to transform a plain white living room filled with plain white furniture into whatever kind of fancily decorated living room they desired by projecting different patterns onto the various elements. Coooooool. Now make the couch look like a pile of skulls! We created an unique physical 3D video mapping experience by turning a white living room into a spacious 360 projection area. This technique allowed us to take control of all colors, patterns and textures of the furniture, wallpapers and carpet. All done with 2 projectors. Granted it’s not very practical for an actual living room unless you live entirely in the kitchen and only admire the space from the tent you built out of a bedsheet and barstools, because once you step foot in there you gonna be casting all kinda shadows. And, just like that, your cool-lookin’ living room turns into less of a place to relax, and more of a place to be blinded by a projector and stub your toes on the f***ing coffee table. You think I won’t saw that leg off?! CONSIDER YOUR ASS TRIPODED! Hit the jump for the very worthwhile video.

Note: Worthwhile larger version HERE . This is an animated gif that makes the sun appear 3-D . Also, blue . While interesting, what’s even more interesting is the UFO that keeps blinking in the bottom right corner. I suspect they’re siphoning off our sun’s energy like I do my neighbor’s gastank. No wonder our solar cells blow! Picture [wikipedia] Thanks to Mr. KNUCKLES, who, AGAIN WITH THE INSULTS! *beating with gauntlet* It’s on, Nancy-Pants!

Note: Jump probably NSFW due to fake alien-vaj. To coincide with the release of Hustler’s Avatar pr0n parody , Fleshlight is making an “alien” version of their famous male sex-toy . “Honey — I think the blue flashlight in the tool chest next to your Neytiri poster is out of batteries”. Go where no manhood has gone before past the strangely alluring double clitoris of the Alien vagina. This mesmerizing pearlescent blue Alien begs to beam you up for a close encounter of the preferred kind. The exclusive Alien texture combines the feel of three of our most popular textures to create one out-of-this-world experience. Tantalizing sinews swirl together mimicking our famous Vortex canal before breaking through to a Lotus node that finally gives way to our most intense texture, the STU. I’m not gonna lie, I felt dirty just reading that. You can buy the sadness alone for $75, or get it and the movie and — AND — two pairs of crappy 3-D glasses for $90. Which leads me to my next question: why two pairs? Hit the jump for two more NSFW shots and a link to the product page.

Note: Click HERE for a full-size version of the image for the full effect. This is a stereoscopic shot of the moon . So if you cross your eyes like you would a Magic Eye picture, you should be able to see our natural satellite in 3-D . Oooooor get frustrated and Hulk-smash your monitor. Stare into the screen and allow your eyes to defocus. You will get double vision as each eye sees the L & R images separately. Move your head towards and away from the screen until the two middle images overlap. The single overlapping image should be in 3D It took me a little time, but I finally saw it. And I’m not just saying that to impress you with my eye-crossing skills, but one time a friend did slap me on the back while I was making a funny face. You know what happened? I kneed him in the crotch until he cried blood. You don’t touch a man while he’s making faces! 3D space pictures: stereo images of moons, galaxies and nebulae [telegraph] (with 10 more 3-D images of various outerspace-y things) via Check out this 3D pic of the moon, no glasses required [dvice]
