Chinese 5D billboard... is this for real? Crazy stuff.

[VirtualLarry]

This would give me jumpscares, IRL.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's pretty crazy if real. I assume there must be some transparent screens that stick up beyond the building to be able to make a sort of holographic effect.

Five dimensions? X, Y, Z, and... Time? Then?

 

[NuclearNed]

My gut says that's fake. We're not there quite yet.

 

[snoopy7548]

Already done before...

 

[gorobei]

the op video is somebody using cgi.

there are active display billboards doing something similar.

the illusion only works from one specific location, it is just a projection mapping technique similar to those sidewalk chalk artists that can make it look like there is a hole in the ground.

Scariest part of that clip is the dang audio track!

Pretty cool tech (if it's real) actually.

Short D so you need five

The seventh dimension is sanity.

OH noooo mr. bill - the CHUDs will eat us all - and with NO steak sauce. Oh the humanity!

Hello Lurker!
Yea, the cat one is pretty cool!

 

[Klingenberg]

I wonder how much an ad like that costs.
I know of Blindspot, a platform to put ads on digital billboards, and there their price up to $80 per play. Couldn't see any 3D billboards, though. I wouldn't be surprised if their cost will be over $100 per play.

I like how they're just throwing numbers... why not call it 7D?

Space time existence itself...

Sorry for reviving this one. Just saw this one

Was just there a couple of weeks ago. Kind of cool, but not that impressive IRL IMO. More impressive is how well Japan runs with the ridiculous mass of people in the area.

5D would make sense if the ads are different for each person looking at it. It would be like it can work in multiple alternate realities that are tailored to the individuals observing it. Call it a quantum billboard.

I joke but I wouldn't be surprised if advertisers are actually trying to figure out how to make targeted billboards. They would look at what demographic of people are in the viewing area and display ads based on that. Let's say a bus full of hockey players is driving by it would detect that a good portion of the people that are seeing it like hockey, so it starts to put hockey equipment ads. This could fairly easily be done because phones know everything about us so they just need to look at that data in real time. The company would just buy the data from Google/Apple in real time.

Oh, so Seto Kaiba finally managed to enter the real world like a Digimon and put forth his holographic dueling tech.

I'm pretty sure targeted billboards are already a thing. If not in the wild, then in validated research. I was reading about them years ago. People can't look at the same billboard at the same time and see different things, but they can change for the individual or aggregate.

For amusement park rides 5D usually means they add smell or spray water on you or something.

I like how the artist added Fred Durst in his natural habitat.
