Geek Chic: Your Own Personal IMAX Theatre

This just in from the isn't-that-cool department. Elumens has created a low-cost 3D immersive viewing system for individual users called the VisionStation. Three-dimensional immersive environments are useful for various research, education, and scientific visualization applications, particularly in the military and oil and gas industry, but most are huge, expensive systems that cost many thousands of dollars. These small concave screens are about the size of the average office desk, provide a 180 field of view, and are designed to be easily portable. It's like having your own personal IMAX theatre. Definitely something to put on your Christmas wish list your next research proposal.
