3D hologram App available for iPhone and iPod touch

A new application is out for all iPod touch and iPhone owners designed by David O’reilly which gives the look of a 3D hologram is jumping out of your screen.

It looks like you are constantly viewing the screen at a viewing angle of 35-45 degrees, almost like it is sitting on the table, it uses the same kind of technique that was used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors, so the 3D scenes perspective is warped using anamorphosis.

The software rotates on the y-axis and uses the iPods built-in gyroscope as if we are acting looking around the scene on the screen. You can also move the scene manually with a slider that you will find on the left hand side of the screen. This is all very exciting stuff as the potential is massive within the gaming industry; O’Reilly is currently looking for developers to take this project further.
