From the purveyors of everyone's favourite "unlimited detail" voxel engine...

I don't even.

If you mean they made something that already exists, yup they are very good at that. Sometimes I wonder if they really believe the stuff they say.

Well atleast outside of game development they are making progress. There voxel engine has proven to be a good way to capture 3D maps.

It’s the presentation that gets me. Every video they make is pitched as a world-changing...

Absolutely, but that is how it goes outside the game design world. The other day I was at a show, simulations showcase, a team there acted like they invented VR; but they were using HTC Vive.

For Euclideon I think it has become second nature to just act like anything they do is ground breaking. Because so many of there clients don't know about VR and AR, that a lot of there sales comes from fooling them.

 

Targeting the ignorant. It is how they survived this long.

they were wearing AR goggles right? that is supposed to be impressive?

No, they are just frequency-separation glasses. Basically the same idea as the polarised glasses you'd wear to a 3D cinema, except that they've used a different frequency spectrum for each of the pairs of glasses.

They use a set of cameras tracking the position of the glasses, and then they render the scene from 8 different perspectives (4 pairs of glasses * 2 eyes each) and overlay them together each in their own frequency band. Then glasses will un-jumble the frequency and show each eye the correct image.

The video is super misleading in that it shows StarWars-style holograms with objects projected above the table - whereas it's actually just like any 3D TV, and anything that appears above the surface of the table will be cropped by the edges of the screen.
