Holographic Projection - Where Are We Today - The Bending Blurring Of Reality

Posted on March 18, 2008 - Filed Under Communications


Holography has come a long way in the last thirty years. Much of its early beginnings used this new science for art. Two dimensional Art using holographic imaging got a rather rocky start, almost a false start. It really was not until the Movie Industry started making 3D Movies that the general public really became excited about it. Gary Zellerbach writes in Leonardo Magazine back in 1992;

One of the biggest problems in the ’70’s and early ’80’s was the public’s lack of familiarity with holograms. During those early days, almost all visitors to my gallery were seeing holograms for the first time. While many were astonished and enthused, just as many walked away scratching their heads in disbelief. To them, holography seemed at best a “trick” or “fad.”

Obviously art is a great application for Holographic Imagery and it makes sense that is where its roots were first planted. Although one can understand that the real money in art is made with collector’s pieces and not so much new fad novelties like holographic images as art.

High-end art was considered an investment and as Holography became common place this simply would not compete as an investment in art. Now with the advent of Virtual Reality and Video Conferencing folks are demanding better technologies, more tools and more realistic features. Perfect for both IBMs Spectral Imaging and the Holographic Projection fields, as it will provide more Research and Development funding.

This will allow us to see that the Star Wars holographic phones in Sci Fi indeed become science fact and modern communication devices that we can all use. Obviously such technology have endless applications, but just wait until your cell phone has video holographic projection? That’s what I am talking about!
