October 8, 2008 at 14:30Holographic television is becoming a reality
A football match or a brand new mega-blockbuster, which takes place in 3D right on the coffee table. Previously, this could only be seen in science fiction films. But to be almost on the same stage with Metallica or face to face with the monsters from the next three-dimensional game ... and all this is "at home on the couch." It may soon become a reality.
At the University of Arizona, a team of scientists led by Dr. Nasser Peyghambarian was able to break through the field of holographic imaging. Researchers managed to create the first three-dimensional display, equipped with memory. The rewriting of the information that he shows is carried out so far for several minutes. The main task of the development team at the moment is to create such a device so that it can display an image that changes several times per second. So for now, according to Peigambarian, the prototype cannot be used as a 3D display. But the fact that this is possible and works is obvious.
Tung H. Jeong, a professor of physics at Lake Forest College in Chicago, who has been studying holography since 1960, commented on the development of Peigambarian: “If we are talking about holograms that can be erased and rewritten, then we can really come to an implementation soon holographic television. "
Peigambarian also shared his vision of how the holographic image device would look. According to him, it could be “a screen on the wall (like a regular flat-panel TV) broadcasting three-dimensional images. Also, this device can be implemented in the form of a horizontal panel that can be installed on a coffee table, with holographic equipment under it. "
Dr. Peigambarian is optimistic and confident in the strengths of his team. And he claims that holographic technology, or rather holographic monitors, can appear on the market, depending on the progress of research, in five or ten years. Since the method of rewriting the holographic image has been found, further development to the final product will be, if not swift, then much simpler than before the “breakthrough”.
