LONDON The 3D hologram you saw in Star Wars may soon become a reality,thanks to a new breakthrough made by researchers at the University of Arizona.They have developed a holographic system that can transmit a series of 3D images in near-real-time,a precursor to holographic videoconferencing,that would eventually let us interact with images of friends from across the globe.
The system incorporates a novel,photorefractive polymer one that can rapidly refresh holographic images and is scalable for production coupled to a unique system for recording and transmitting 3D images of individuals and objects via Ethernet.Lead author Pierre-Alexandre Blanche and his colleagues from the university and Nitto Denko Technical,described the breakthrough in the journal Nature.
This advance brings us a step closer to the ultimate goal of realistic holographic telepresence with high-resolution,human-size,3D images that can be sent at video refresh rates from one part of the world to the other, said co-author Nasser Peyghambarian.ANI
