Hologram technology has been secretly inching closer and closer to our living rooms for quite some time, though few have actually been paying attention to it as a bona fide display technology. A team from the University of Arizona is hoping to change that mindset, as they have developed a technology that "allows holograms to be rewritable for the first time." Essentially, this enables "allows 3D images to be changed many times per second, just like the frames in a movie," and you don't have to have the most vivid of imaginations to understand how incredible this could be. As of now, the tech isn't suitable for 3D movies, but team member Nasser Peyghambarian is hopeful that they "will be able to get to that capability." Better-than-3D visuals without the glasses? Consider us pre-sold.
Without 3D glasses, I'm sold. If 3D glasses are needed...forget it.
but will it be flicker free? We have seen hologram technology in tons of futuristic movies and tv shows. Despite each future vision of supirior technology, their holograms always seem to flicker.
I wonder why people seem to think mankind will conqure intergalactic space travel and colonize thousands of planets before we can invent a stable 3d hologram :p
