Scientists Create 3D Holograms Using WiFi
Scientists have created a new type of 3D holograms solely by using wifi.
New Method Changes The Way Optical Devices Scatter Light
Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab and Harvard University have discovered that mixing solids and liquids enhances the optical properties of both materials. They found that changing the temperature of a solid-liquid mixture dramatically alters the way that light is diffused. The researchers also built a computer model that can be used to design custom liquid-solid mixtures for specific purposes.
Levitating Objects with Acoustic Holograms
Scientists have created a sonic hologram that can move objects in thin air. The “sonic tractor beam” can pull, push, and spin objects without touching them. The researchers hope the new technology can eventuall... Read More...
Researchers Used Lasers to Create Touchable Holograms
Japanese researchers have developed 3D plasma displays with haptic feedback, or in other words, touchable 3D holograms. Previous attempts at high resolution holograms were too dangerous to touch. Volunteers who... Read More...
3D Holograms without Glasses
Future moviegoers could look much less goofy while watching the next big 3D flick. The latest developments in 3D display technology uses graphene to build pop-up holograms that could eventually be seen without ... Read More...
Hologram Headset: An Augmented Reality
This week Microsoft demonstrated prototypes for HoloLens, an image projection headset that superimposes holograms onto the real world. The new device is different from other holographic gadgets such as Facebook... Read More...
Life-sized human-shaped holograms (from our “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” file)
As we enter the summer vacation season, travelers connecting through one of the metro New York’s three major airports should be on the lookout for customer service agents in the form of life-sized human-shaped ... Read More...
