Chinese researchers debut largest 3D holographic display

After the flurry of 3D TVs we’ve seen over the past week or so, we’ve kind of got accustomed to the technology, but in China researchers have pushed those limits of 3D to another new level, we may still not be so ready for. The researchers in China have developed what they call the largest 3D holographic display. Measuring 1.8 × 1.3 m2 the screen is touted to be perfect for a great viewing experience with its continuous natural 3D image production.

The 3D holographic display with the help of 64 digital cameras within is able to capture 3D images and with 64 projectors it is also able to recreate those images by projecting them on a holographic functional display screen at various angles. Because size of the magnification depends on the projector’s ability and the camera array, there is no limit here on the holographic display, it can be used to create 3D images in any size, and still retain a high-quality image. The goal of the research team is to commercialize the display, but until then they expect to optimize the system and develop the requisite applications, software etc.
