Scene from the Star Wars movie
It’s not yet possible for a CEO to transmit a complete three-dimensional picture of himself to another place of the world, but researchers are now one step closer to the 3-D picture in real time, thanks to a notable process in the holographic technology which could make it possible that video conferences in the near future will be much more real.
Nasser Peyghambarian from the University of Arizona and his fellow researchers state that their new holographic technology can project an image of almost 360 degrees to another location with an actualization of the image every two seconds.
Known as telepresence in three dimensions, the technology improves the defects of the current holograms, which create a 3-D illusion but actually don’t show the third dimension, says Peyghambarian, whose study has been published in the Nature magazine.
This new technology can be used in many ways, for example in the fabrication of cars and planes. Thanks to the 3-D hologram it will be possible to design a system in real time, check the model and make necessary changes in order to improve it. It will also be possible for surgeons in different places to cooperate on complex interventions at the same time.
To create the hologram cameras take a picture in color from different angels and send it through an Ethernet line. The laboratory model projects the pictures on a plastic panel and constantly updates it.
Future screens will be installed over a table and the system will create the optic illusion that the picture is floating over the screen. In no time we will be able to communicate through holograms, just the way we have seen it in many science fiction movies. The development of a holographic device to project any kind of video entrance is a fact.
