Laser-Made 3D Holograms

Japanese Developers Show off Their True 3D Hologram System

— January 31, 2013 — Tech
Developers at AIST and Keio University have unveiled their new true 3D hologram system, and the results are stunning.

The system allows the user to create actual 3D floating images by focusing laser light to a specfic point, which then causes stimulation and illumination of the plasma in the oxygen and nitrogen that's abundant in the air. The developers also say that their true 3D hologram system can be modified at a later date by adding in primary colored red, green and blue lasers to create full color and more detailed holograms.

Currently, the system is capable of displaying 50,000 dots at 15 frames per second. The next step would be getting that frame rate up to 24, which would allow for videos to be displayed with the device.

With this true 3D hologram system, we're one step closer to have our very own holodeck from Star Trek!
Trend Themes
1. True 3D Holograms - True 3D hologram systems are becoming a reality with laser technology, offering new opportunities for immersive visual experiences.
2. Full Color Holograms - The addition of primary colored lasers to 3D hologram systems enables the creation of vibrant, detailed holographic images.
3. Increased Frame Rates - Advancements in frame rate technology for hologram systems will allow for smooth, high-quality video playback in the future.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can leverage true 3D hologram systems to enhance live performances, virtual reality experiences, and immersive storytelling.
2. Advertising - The advertising industry can utilize full color holograms to create eye-catching, interactive displays that capture consumers' attention and engage them with products.
3. Medical Imaging - The medical imaging industry can benefit from increased frame rates in hologram systems to visualize complex anatomical structures in real-time for diagnostics and surgical planning.
