New process devised to generate and transmit holograms

NOV 04, 2010
Physics Today
New York Times : Researchers at the University of Arizona report in Nature that they have succeeded in transmitting moving three-dimensional images from one place to another in almost real time. Their device can update images every 2 seconds. The technology uses holograms, two-dimensional images that reconstruct the light that would have bounced off a physical object, making it look 3D. The new technology could be used for such applications as holographic surgery and movies that literally surround the viewer.
