Holograms are just awesome. For years, Hollywood has captured the public imagination — from Star Wars to Iron Man — but ...

UPNA researchers created a 3D mid-air display allowing natural hand interaction with virtual objects using an elastic ...

Researchers from the Public University of Navarra claim to be the first to have developed holograms, officially known as volumetric displays, that users can directly manipulate with their hands.

Holograms are generally made using swept volumetric displays, meaning images are projected at different heights nearly three thousand times per second onto a rigid oscillating surface called a ...

Doom was successfully put on a volumetric display, giving a unique third-person gameplay perspective. The display features a spinning 2D panel creating an illusion of dots hung in mid-air.

The movie "Avatar" attracted a lot of attention for its 3D images, but audiences had to wear special glasses to experience the sense of depth, and glasses-free 3D displays were developed to solve this ...

Get your hands on the latest in holographic tech — or if you want to be pedantic about it, volumetric displays. Using a clever system of elastic bands and rapidly projecting images, a team of ...

“What we see in films and call holograms are typically volumetric displays,” said Bouzbib, the lead author of the work. “These are graphics that appear in mid-air and can be viewed from ...

A Spanish scientific team from the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) has succeeded in developing a volumetric display for 3D graphics that can be touched and moved while suspended in the air.

Commercial prototypes of volumetric displays already exist, such as those from Voxon Photonics or Brightvox Inc., but none allow for direct interaction with the holograms,' the team points out.

If you’re projecting a holo-cube, you can reach into that display and slide it back and forth or turn it around. Volumetric displays have existed (at least in prototype form) for some time. Most of ...

As New Atlas explains, traditional holograms are created using swept volumetric displays. Images are projected at varying heights onto a rigid oscillating surface known as a diffuser at a rate of ...
