Researchers Create First Touchable Holograms Using Elastic Diffuser Technology

Scientists Invent Holograms You Can Touch

Using elastic bands, a team of researchers have created holograms that you can physically manipulated with your hands.

Laser Holograms Could Revolutionize 3D Chip Manufacturing

The approach uses lasers and holograms to detect misalignments as small as 0.017 nanometers. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a new method for aligning 3D semiconductor chips by shining a laser through concentric metalenses patterned onto the chips, creating a hologram. Their work, published in Nature Communications, could significantly reduce the [...]

Touchable 3D holograms are now a reality in world-first breakthrough

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 around three thousand times per second. This setup produces the appearance of a 3D object suspended in space without...Read Entire Article

Scientists Reveal First 3D Holograms That Can Be Touched

The first 3D touchable hologram. Credit: Asier Marzo / CC BY 4.0 A team of researchers has developed the first 3D hologram that can be touched and moved by hand, opening the door to fully interactive holographic experiences. The study, published March 6 in the HAL open archive, introduces a method for projecting three-dimensional images in mid-air using a soft, flexible material. Unlike traditional holograms that users can only view, this system…
