Holograms - The Future Without The Funny Glasses

Posted by timothy on from the hey-my-breakfast-is-now-three-dee dept.

hopbine writes "MIT Technology Review has an interesting article on the latest trends in holograms. I like the NYU's NY3D system. It puts an LCD display in front of a normal CRT and by monitoring the viewers eye movement it can flash on and off parts of the LCD screen showing each eye a different image through the gaps, producing a 3D image. Another research project shows how researchers can "feel" the hologram. Maybe the holodeck is not that far away !"

    I just want to know why they never post MY articles when I try to dupe a topic, but everyone else here seems to be having a field day.

    Bollocks, I say.
