Breakthrough opens the hologram era

Moving the hologram screen in the Star Wars movie is no longer a distant prospect, thanks to the breakthrough in 3D technology.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have unraveled a major technical hurdle to make the prospect of creating high-quality, low-cost holograms a reality.

Up until now, hologram projections have often been confined to science fiction and fantasy, and the most famous example is the image of Princess Leia in her first film, War of the Apes. star.

Currently, hologram projection systems are expensive to move and have serious limitations.

With the current technology, the main factors such as screen size, viewing angle, frame rate and image depth are all problematic.

Fortunately, US engineers have successfully developed a form of space-light coordination , which promises to bring hologram projection from the realm of science into the real world, according to a report in Nature.

It is expected that a projection screen with the new technology can be built at a cost of no more than $ 500, not including light sources.

Unlike 3D images, hologram projection allows the viewer to move and see a variety of different shapes from every angle.
