Holography Technology

If you are looking for something kind of new, cool, and futuristic, then you should read about Holography Technology. With Holography you can view things in 3D and in 360 degrees. Holography had captured our imagination since the movie Star Wars. It is a technique that allows the light spread out from any object to be recorded and then restored to create a 3D image. Since then many companies and educational institutes around the world have developed and used this technology in a variety of ways (University of Arizona, Musion - UK, Cisco –USA, Zebra – USA, etc). These organizations realized the importance, advantages and benefits of implementing such technology to fulfill the demand of this technological generation. Therefore, they invested, and are still investing, tremendous time, effort, and money to keep creating communication tools for the future. Cisco’s TelePesence, is one of the tools, in which a 3D image is recorded in one location and shown in another location, in real-time, and in any place around the world.

Similarly, Musion Eyeliner, a high definition 3D holographic video projection system allows a 3D moving life-size hologram to appear within a live stage using Peppers Ghost technology (Tricky illusionary technique used in theater and in some magic tricks).

  1. I think holograms are amazing. Although i believe in the black eye peas, when fergie and the guy in the goldish suit. They have no lights affecting them at all compared to the other two guys. You can see shadows and lights on them but, have no affect on the two in the middle. It seems it can only be used in certain cases. I would love to see it in video games thats amazing. I'm sure giving a couple more years it will be.

  2. FREAKIN FINALY! I’ve been praying to god that I would live to see the day we got holograms. Sadly the part I want to see hasn’t come around yet. I really want to be able to play video games in a virtual reality setting. The benefits from holograms are endless though. From being able to engineer a product digitally to being able to simulate training exercises for jobs and learning things from day 1 and a baby. We could even experience different cultures from the comfort of our own homes. This is a technology I would really want to see hit the ground running.
