DARPA’s Urban Photonic Sandtable Display (UPSD) creates color, real-time, 3D holographic displays with up to 12 inches of visual depth. The technology enables 360-degree viewing by a team of 20 people without 3D glasses or goggles. This image is an example of the two-dimensional representation warfighters could use in the field once planning is complete. The various colors represent the altitudes of each building segment.
