Re:Voxon hologram volumetric display (2019) by gaudat on Tuesday December 29, 2020 @09:47AM (#25570172)
We planned to build a volumetric display with a LED panel sweeping a cylindrical volume a while ago. In the end it was dropped because we underestimated how much pixels we need to push to that display.

Even with the 1920Hz refresh rate of a 128x64 LED billboard panel we can only achieve like 5Hz volume refresh rate.

Not to mention the heavy flickering and danger of a quickly spinning hunk of electronics.

Volumetric display may be the future if we can couple a GPU directly to a quick enough display device. Until then we are stuck with VR.
