Isn’t display technology just wonderful? No? You want something curved? well, if you’re not happy with the flat Microsoft Surface with multi-touch, get ready to literally wrap your hands around the Spherical version.
Microsoft Research took the globular multi-touch screen out of the box today to reveal just how gaming, advertising and messing around with photos will never be the same. Of course, nobody think of 3D CAD when it comes to this technology. What could it change?
The hive gathers
I’ve seen design groups huddled in circular colonies around their workstations and people throwing paper back and forth between cubicles. It’s not like a ball with video on it can change much of how designers and engineers work, but think of the implications of what it could lead to. If you see that video, or 3D data, can be displayed on a spherical surface, what is the next phase? Could 3D data be the display and the information reside on those surfaces?
I’d like to get your opinion. Is new display technology a fad? Can it be developed to be more practical? I think it can be and I think we’ll be using 3D data in new and different ways in the near future.
Here’s the video:

SolidSmack is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, and ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas.

I agree with Ocell; a spherical display has limited benefit to 3d cad – if you want stereo viewing there are plenty of useful alternatives. (some are even built into solidworks -wow!)
wow, to think all the way back in 95 this type of UI was being conceived. Really makes you wonder about the possibilities they knew of back then and the people that have the knowledge now of what may be possible 10 years down the line.
Thanks for posting that Al.
