3d holographic gaming closer then we think - trans the psycopath - 06-14-2015
awhile ago i stumbled onto a thing called bleen a holographic projecter that claims to be able to project into the air without needing glass or anything to project onto. it seems legit as they are taking responsibilty for the projecters used for the 2014 homer hologram stunt at comicon last year and they apparently sold some to a lingerie shop in the uk (both examples are on there youtube channel which i will give a link to at the end) they are selling home units for 800 a piece.
asuming they are telling the truth i think there best bet is for them to partner with konami because although i am happy it is possible to buy this stuff for home the 800 doller price tag is a bit much for most people who would buy this, but konami has something that would insure a ton of money for bleen to get more then enough funding to start researching how make the projecters cheaper and that thing is a franchise called yugioh.
why konami instead of anouther big company like sony or nintendo? well its simple konami is a big player in the arcade area of the gaming industry this means they could use the projecters right now . while a company like nintendo who is focused on home and mobile gaming would hafto wait untill it got way cheaper before even considering it.
why is yugioh such a big deal for this why not another franchise? well although there are a ton of games and franchises that would benifit from a holographic arcade game, yugioh is the only one that has holograms as a central part of the plot meaning players would be doing exactly what is happening on the show. this would increase the already super high marketability of yugioh even higher after all look at how many kids bought those fake duel disks when they came out years ago. with real holograms it would give a truly unique experience. with japans arcade market still really strong it would just rake in the cash over there and if it were coupled with some really big holo publicity stunts it could get global attention. like say using it in the yugioh world championships and put it in an open area at night where the holographic monsters would be easily seen fighting by passers by.
well thats my 2 cents i would love hear your thoughts about this weather you think bleen is legit what franchises you think might work better then yugioh as a starter for 3d arcades anything you think i missed and anything you think adds to this subject and so on? also here is there website and youtube page.

You... you actually fell for that...

If you seriously think what Bleen is developing is the real deal, why not have a look at these links?

I'm not entirely sure right now if Bleen has ever been proven that their technology is a fraud, but the evidence is certainly against this company.

I was originally gonna ask why it's a joke, but thanks to E-man's Googling skills and kindness of sharing, I get why you guys are reacting so negatively here
to be fair, in trans' example it'd be cool if they used the semitransparent window technology they currently use for holographic images for PR reasons (though it's so pointlessly costly and requires so much extra development, why not just use a giant projector and do it on the side of a building already)

well if you will reread my post you will see that i am skeptical about it but i am speaking from a hopful point of view.
also i did see those reviews before its like the first thing i looked for but if you read them they are only picking apart the indie go go campaign not the product its self and if you check they were written befor the product was available. so untill someone buys one and reviews the actual product its self its just hearsay i would recomend cautios optimisum at this point and hope for the best but expect to be let down besides there is a press kit available so its just noones decided to review it and a contact thing so its easy to get in touch with them
