@seer:

It's not a holographic display, inside the globe is a PCB with a vertical row of LEDs that spins very fast while the LEDs are toggling in a synchronized pattern, so the persistence of vision in your eyes makes it look like there are pictures floating in the air.  It looks pretty good, actually.  Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey (I think the guys selling them said something about $2000 for the fancier, 8-colour model).

Wow rough crowd !

Yeah, really! I didn't know our standards were so high around here.   ;-) The Old Sacramento pictures were pretty neat. I've driven between SF and Redding (up north near Mt. Shasta), where my mother lives, a number of times but always took the highway that cuts the corner to I-5 instead of going into Sacramento. Always heard it was California's armpit but at least the old town around the river looks pretty nice. Who are the guys next to the locomotives? And I would guess that's greenboy in the somewhat fuzzy  http://anachronismindustries.com/amiwest/amiwest9.JPG?

Yes that is a fuzzy greenboy.

The guys next to the locomotives? That would be Cybereye and me.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Thanks for sharing your pictures.  I like the old locomotive at Old Sacramento.

Use that pic as your avatar.  You may get more recognition at future shows.

@CodeSmith,

It looks pretty good, actually.

Yeah.. I can see how a RTS game could benefit from this, not to mention 3D gfx and stuff.. (Offcourse if the update speed of the leds is fast enough)

Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey (I think the guys selling them said something about $2000 for the fancier, 8-colour model).

Well, with most tech, it will get cheaper I hope.. I'll start checking Ebay  :-D
