What's been happening with Vectrex over the last 5 years, hardware
software?
Here is an idea:
I got a sandisk microsd card the other day, and the packaging had a really
cool hologram on it, admittedly greenish, but depth and rotation in all
directions. I thought it would be really cool if there was a vectrex like
handheld that could do something like that. A true hologram display is
not practical, but there is a 3D display technology that is pretty good.
There is some technology that would enable that. Any screen that has
display elements close to the surface and wide angle of view is suitable,
OEL very suitable. A lenticular sheet like used in those 3D cards given
in crisp packets, but the 2 axis sort that allows you to turn it in all
directions. However, the higher the resolution the better, as each change
in direction requires a row of pixels (but there is bound to be a product
with hi-res monochrome display out there somewhere, maybe some form of
electronic paper). On the low end, there has been a number of stereo
vision displays announced over the years, and I think sharp has one.
I had thought of trying this on a GB advance years ago, but that would be
too low resolution for vector graphics.
Anyway, just an amusing wild eyed idea.
Thanks
