This is just an ad for an overpriced smartphone that comes with an app that rotates a 3d scene according to the device orientation sensor readings (like the Amazon devices that cost much less). 949 area code -- why are so many scammers in Orange County?

While I'd like more info on what exactly the device does and perhaps see a demo, Red is not a scammer.

They are an industry leader in digital cameras of which are used to film many major movies (http://www.red.com/shot-on-red)

I'm no expert, but just because it's used by professionals doesn't mean it's not a vanity brand. See Monster Cables and Beats by Dre.

The Holographic Display.

It is incredible. It is multi-view (4-view) as compared to stereo 3D (2-view). Watching shocked faces light up when people see it is really motivating. There is no good way to describe it until you see it. Hopefully we will get some skeptics eyes on it soon… then they can tell you.

Our display is technology you haven’t seen before. It is not lenticular, which is inferior tech in every way, has been tried many times before and failed for good reason. (see Amazon 3D Fire, LG Optimus, etc). Lenticular display dramatically lowers resolution, cannot be turned off for standard 2D content, only works in one direction (usually landscape), has color crosstalk… to name just a few issues. My bet is that other “big” companies will try to re-package lenticular 3D displays with eye-tracking in response to our program. Don’t fall for it.

Super interested to hear more details on the display tech. Although they specifically state 'not lenticular', providing a '4 way view' still seems to indicate some form of lens setup. There's a few microlens array based displays which, while definitely much better that an old school lenticular strips, are not great for detail.

Yeah, I'm going on a limb here and claim this is nothing but putting a bunch of buzz words in the name of some PR stunt.

You can be sure there is nothing Holographic about this display at least, which makes me doubt all the other big words they trow around in the text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography
