What: A unique demonstration of advanced 3-D display technology will be presented by Actuality Systems using its highly acclaimed spherical 3-D display. The breakthrough technology offers multiple users the ability to literally walk around the display and view images in full 360 degrees and without the use of special 3-D goggles.

Where: Cyberposium, Feb. 9 at Harvard Business School in Boston. The demonstrations will be part of the Tech Show from 12.30pm to 5pm at the Spangler Center.

Technology: The unique monitor, code-named Helios, is shaped like a 20-inch-diameter globe and can show high-resolution color images that appear to hover in space, allowing multiple users to move completely around the 360-degree display and view images from any angle. The display is believed to provide the highest resolution volumetric imagery ever developed. Early applications for the volumetric 3-D displays are in biotechnology and drug design, defense and security systems, engineering and mechanical design, and medical imaging.

Who: Company representatives, including Gregg Favalora, founder and chief technology officer, will be available to answer questions and discuss the technology. Actuality Systems is a spin-off of the prestigious MIT $50k Entrepreneurship Competition. The five-year-old company is developing next-generation volumetric display technology with a goal of manufacturing the world's most advanced line of volumetric 3-D displays. Founded in 1997, the firm operates from offices in Reading, Mass., north of Boston.
