I want one when the 27" globe's get down to  a few hundred.  It look kick ass and I'ld love to have one but damn.  I could almost get my dodge viper for that kinda cash.

yes i do agree with Grinning Reaper on this one...this is pushing a dollar a bit much!  But man how technology has advanced...as i look as these pictures i feel as if im looking at a piece from Star Wars!  I love the whole 3-D projection, but i think that the viewing space is too small...but the projection makes up for it!  One setback that id point out, being that this is $40,000globe is equipped and limited to 8 colors...thats one thing to change for the future... ;D

Yeah. Once we get the whole energy to matter thing down we can make real holodecks where we can do anybody we want on  

doesn't energy always matter ?  

i think he might have been talking about turning energy into matter...in that case we would easily rule the world with a touch of a button once we got the hang of it!  Now that is smart thiniking!

I'm saying, if we could. I could do Pamela Anderson!

And if we could also master it so the matter would stay, we could replicate hardware for our computers!

man i dont think i would have enought time to name all of the stuff that i would like to make...but i know for sure one of the first things that i would make would have to be every ferrari model ever made! then money...and so on and so forth..ya get the picture dont you?

I don't see how it could be that hard to make ourselves. There is no gas/electrical technology going on here, just a projection on a spinnnng screen. Then you make a breadboard to convert the signal. Would require some work and research, but not nearly $40,000 worth.

I think you misunderstood it...It is not a holodeck at all, it is just a projector like what we have already on a spinning screen...you'd keep getting whacked if you try getting into the image...

yes i know that...the subject was just brought up and i thought that it would be cool!  Ive seen clocks that kind of have this sort of technology but not nearly as advanced...a simple pendelum swaying action with a single poll back and forth, not an entire screen...but it still sets me back to hear that it only had 8 colors!
