A 3d Goggle-less Display in the form of a crystal ball. - Link stolen from Slashdot - It's small, it's $40k.. and it does not have Quake drivers (yet), but its is so very very cool. pic of whole system, shows scale

That's crazy. Did you notice that it's a SCSI device? It also looks like it doesn't actually do solids. Of course, true 3D would require ridiculous amounts of RAM (this thing only has 3Gbits of RAM)...

768x768x198, looks like it shouldn't be too great a stretch to put Quake![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
on it 'cause the interface is OpenGL, although quake probably does a lot of pre-render geometry culling that'd cause issues in a true 3d display.
But it reminds me a lot of something Texas Instruments had running back in the 1980s...
