The first to create the world's thinnest 3D images

This is the world's thinnest 3D image, meaning that we will have a closer look at the world in video.

A team of scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne has unveiled a 'very thin' three-dimensional image that makes us feel closer to the world in movies than we thought possible.

3D nanoscale images are created using a simple, direct laser system.

This hologram was developed by a team of Chinese and Australian researchers known as the 'world's thinnest', only about 25 nanometers. It is 1000 times that of human hair and can be seen with the naked eye, without 3D glasses.

This technology has the potential to bring us closer to equipping the three-dimensional display for conventional electronics. Imagine you'll be able to see and do a lot of things if you have a 3D pop-up shape to play, instead of the traditional 2D image on the screen.

Professor Min Gu, RMIT University in Melbourne, said: "Our three-dimensional images are created with a simple, straightforward laser system. This makes our design suitable for use in large scale and mass production.

The thinnest 3D image in the world.

The team's ambition is to shrink the pixels on the hologram and develop a thin film that can be placed on the LCD to allow 3D content to be displayed. If this happens, 3D images may appear on consumer devices and eventually take us into the world of Avatar.

Although creative holograms are really a masterpiece of science fiction, it will take some time before it is fully integrated into electronic devices. Perhaps during Gu's and his team's refining of this technology, a 3D imaging solution is even better.
