Dr Josef Schmid found himself beamed to the middle of the International Space Station, where he was able to enjoy a conversation with the astronauts and even shared a handshake.
A research group have now developed a system of holograms of people using “aerohaptics”, creating feelings of touch with jets of air. In time you could meet a virtual avatar of a colleague and really feel their handshake.
The creation, and subsequent storage, of data is the most pressing issue in the world of technology right now. But new holographic technology could be about to make a huge impact to this problem.
Engineers create brighter, full-color holograms that can be viewed with low light.
A newly-developed ultra-thin material tricks the human eye into perceiving highly detailed 3D images without the need for special glasses.
As NASA prepares to send the first humans to Mars, LIFE VR, TIME and 8i have collaborated and created Buzz Aldrin: Cycling Pathways to Mars, the world’s first holographic ‘archival VR’ project.
Physicists have invented a tiny device that creates the highest quality holographic images ever achieved, opening the door to imaging technologies seen in science fiction movies.
Researchers can create complex patterns in air and water using ultrasonic waves. By placing 3D printed plates in front of speakers, they can levitate water droplets and propel small objects.
Canadian researchers have developed what they are claiming is the world's first holographic flexible smartphone, with a bendable display that allows multiple people looking at the device to see different 3D images depending on their perspective.
Magic Leap unveiled a new video demonstration of its technology, complete with virtual screens that could theoretically replace a phone or even a desktop PC.
Holoportation is now a thing, so start slapping everyone in arm's distance to make sure they're real.
