Spheree Provides 3-D Animated Images From All Angles A group of researchers have developed a display that takes a spheric form and gives users the ability to view and interact with three-dimensional objects. The display, dubbed Spheree, is the first of its kind that can show uniform, high resolution pixels on a spherical surface, and it lets people use gestures to interact with the display objects, according to Discovery News. The team consisted of researchers from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil and the University of British Columbia, Canada. The researchers showed off the device at last week's SIGGRAPH 2014 convention in Vancouver, providing a Snow Globe 3-D animation that featured a house, animated snow and a train that moved around the house. Multiple projectors are used in Spheree to shine the images on the interior surface of the device, CNET reported. The team also designed special software that blends the projector images together into one continuous image.
