3D photo paper?

"When you shine a light on a photo from different angles, nothing happens to the image. But what if the shadows on it could change as if it were a real, three-dimensional object? That day is closer than you think."

I'm looking forward to this!

Interesting but it does seem a bit like a new and improved buggy whip.

Why would this save printed media ?

I avoid popular media because of what they write, not because they dont have 3D photographs.

Hyperbole to generate readership. However having a print that changes with the angle of the light hitting it/time of day would be quite interesting to play with.

I don't understand why this was moved to digital discussion though. Photography products I could understand but oh well

This guy said what I was thinking.

"I remember the first time I saw a hologram used in mass print media, it was on the cover of National Geographic. The next and last time I saw one in mass use, was on credit cards. It changed nothing, and I expect even less from this technology. Sorry."

I'm old enough to have now lived through 5 different - 3-D is the next big thing - eras.

No doubt, if they get sufficient funding they may get to the point they have a marketable product.

And hopefully we will all live through the 3D-TV era.
