# Responsive 3D Holograms The 'Fairy Lights' 3D Holograms' Behavior is Influenced By Human Touch By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-12-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-lights-3d-hologram References: [digitalnature.slis.tsukuba.ac.jp](http://digitalnature.slis.tsukuba.ac.jp/2015/06/fairy-lights-in-femtoseconds/) & [digitalnature.slis.tsukuba.ac.jp](http://digitalnature.slis.tsukuba.ac.jp/2015/06/fairy-lights-in-femtoseconds/) A group of researchers hailing from Tsukuba University in Japan have invented futuristic 3D holograms that are capable of responding to a human's touch. These holograms, dubbed Fairy Lights, are small in size and measure a volume no greater than one cubic centimeter. They use what are known as [femtosecond lasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minverse), which are capable of provoking physical matter in order to emit 3D light. The holograms make use of lasers in a completely innovative manner to make this possible. This [3D hologram technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vividq-call-of-duty) is the stuff of science fiction, and can be used to eventually create holograms that humans are able to physically interact with. The technology could be used for high-tech instruction in the medical field, or could be used to project technical instruments such as computer keyboards into space, just like in the Matrix movies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive 3D Holograms:** The ability to physically interact with holograms opens up opportunities for new interactive experiences in industries like education and entertainment. - **Femtosecond Laser Technology:** The use of femtosecond lasers to emit 3D light could have disruptive innovation potential in fields like advertising and architecture where unique visual experiences are prized. - **Miniature Hologram Technology:** The small size of Fairy Lights holograms could have a significant impact in industries like security and manufacturing, where small, portable holographic displays could offer a new level of convenience and flexibility. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education:** The ability to create interactive holograms that respond to human touch could revolutionize the way students learn and interact with complex material. - **Entertainment:** The potential for physical interaction with holograms has the potential to transform the entertainment industry by offering audiences new and more immersive experiences. - **Advertising:** The innovative use of femtosecond lasers to create holographic displays may be a game changer for marketers looking for new and captivating ways to grab customers' attention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Realistic Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solidlight.md) - [Meeting-Enhanced 3D Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holobox.md) - [HDMI-Supported Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypervsn-smartv.md) - [Free-Floating Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looking-glass-gen2.md) - [Cardboard-Made Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-holographic-display.md) - [Full-Body Hologram Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portl-epic.md) - [Portable Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looking-glass-go.md) - [Immersive Holographic Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-holographic-projector.md) - [Colossal Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colossal-holographic-display.md)
