Slim Projector Girl
Do you like your girls slim? is 3 millimeters slim enough?
Spotted at the International Stationery and Office Products Fair, this eye-catching digital signage system consists of a 0.3-millimeter-thick high-luminance rear-projection film (Vikuiti Rear Projection Film developed by 3M) applied to a 3-millimeter-thick glass substrate cut into the shape of a woman.Would love a Mio version in my room!
A rear projector beams video onto the film, whose microbead-arrayed surface produces a crisp, brilliant image viewable from any angle, even in brightly lit environments.

Reminds me of the Time Machine 2002 movie - the guy in the Library.
As for girls - I prefer mine muchi muchi (not so slim). Do still find it strange that already slim looking girls call themselves fat all the time.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Pity it's shaped to her form. If it weren't she'd be able to move about and really freak you out when you pass by her and realize she's not real :P

Your avatar just adds more "Lol" to your comment
those are minor cases of anorexia? Or attention whoreism at taht...
Funny, but I could never say if I prefer one kind more that the other, mainly because I am sure there are marvelous examples of both sides that will fit my likings.

One may encounter issues when trying to uh... bend her. :(

WOAH ?

At first I thought that this was a hologram or something. ( It sucks that she has to remain in the same position with her arms up like that)
Student
Yea, I prefer mine a little more thick too.
There's another movie that this reminds me of but I can't think of it.

CNN beat them to it during the us elections last fall. They had full holographic reports, it was actually pretty cool.

I actually laughed pretty hard when they first unveiled it. :P

That is so cool!!!
Looks a tad thicker than just 0.3mm tho. Might just be the shine. I dunno. So very awesome though. I'd have my own David Tennant shaped one. GAWD that would be awesome.
Nice Slim Projector Girl by Epson. But it is only top girl, where her legs? ^^
I prefer real girl... as you have said: "not so slim". ^^ aaa... Would love a Mio version in my room to! Haha (with her legs) ><;

Oh wow I really thought that was a hologram 0.o But in the shape of her body is kinda weird because she's only limited to movements of her shape. Still the technology is getting that good that we don't need bulky TVs anymore ^^

it'll be awesome if this projector greets every customers in shops or restaurants saying "welcome!" and "thank you come again" ^^
24-hr hotel lobbies for sure would love to have that!

That would be neat for video conferences, or space saving entertainment systems.
As for girl shape preference, ...as long as they are healthy and happy it doesn't
matter to me much.
If I remember right, in that time machine movie there was one of the projection screens broken in half and you could see his hands moving...Need to watch it again...good movie...

One step closer to having hollowgram images...

That's no holo... just a piece of projected screen cut out to her shape... XD

To be far it's not really a projector or a hologram, but just a very thin screen (you can observe this when it turns black and you only see her outline. Still very cool technology though, it reminded me of Bladerunner.
As far as skinny girls calling themselves fat, they may have an eating disorder or (at least in America), women are taught that they can never been thin enough; that a 6% body fat index is 6% too much. It's probably similar around the world. Personally I'm more attracted to someone's personality, but if you see all of their ribs poking out, that is kind of a turn-off for me.

I wonder if these will ever be economically feasable. 3mm sheet is pretty fragile. Though having a virtual welcomer is nice.

I thought its a hologram
Have to be tailor made for buyers I guess; given whats the projected has to be the same shape to the screen.

hmmmm not sure it will take off but...
The one that I liked the most, is the spinning rotor sign...
ok... difficult to explain I say it at Avalon Airshow in Sydney, but its basically like clear plastic washing machine tub (sounds impressive so far) with a very high speed spining LED array.
and as the array spins it draws letters and grahpics on the outside of the "tub"

Wouldn't mind a Mio version either. :p
For real girls, I don't like them so skinny that their ribs are poking out. Saw some girls like that back in Junior High. Not attractive imho. But too obese I don't like either. I guess healthy, happy, with good personality girls are the ones I like.

more importantly, who's the chick?

Excellent question; where can we find some more images of her.

Wow! I'd also like one digichick at my place!
If slim girls call themselves fat then... what's left for the real fat girls?
So you go to buy yourself a digital babe and they ask you at the counter:
- What are your preferences - anorecsic, slim, fat, extra fat, mega fat or... incredibly fat?

I thought it was hella cool at first glance; then I realized it's just a screen in her shape. Still cool, but not nearly as cool as a hologram.

Probably cheaper for the company too. They don't have to pay a model to stand around for hours, they just have to pay to film her saying a set of things.

Skinny-slim women are nice, but at 3mm, I'd have to say she has some sort of eating disorder.
