Unity and Voxiebox: Holographic Gaming

on YouTube ↗57m

" summary

A working volumetric projector called Voxiebox is built by spinning a projection surface (early helix, now an up‑and‑down blade) and projecting thousands of slices; prototypes render floating elephants, skulls, Tetris and a Unity port of Voxatron. Hardware hacks use DLP projectors with lasers, Intel RealSense depth cameras, Leap Motion and Xbox controllers; software is a compact BoxyBox DLL (≈1 MB, low‑level code) and a Unity plugin using depth peeling. Target is 3,000 fps slices; current dev unit is about 15×15×10 cm and it works well for arcade‑scale demos.
