Developing and maintaining an audience is a challenging task, given the evolution of the commercialized world. The 3D Holographic video has made a mark for itself - whether it is in enhancing storage capacity on DVD’s or installing solar energy panels. The latest that a team of researchers at MIT under Michael Bove are out and up for is - changing the facade of PC’s and video games consoles. LCD screens are the latest revelation but Bove wishes to flaunt with this developing what would possibly give those PC screens a holographic video display - how far will this grip the nerds, keeps me guessing though.
Bove’s new system, better known as the Mark III, is scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer, if something of the sort i.e. the Holographic video can become a reality someday - it will be a boon for the medicos, scientists and gamers - providing a insight into the body, clearer interpretation of data and submerging the user deeper into the virtual world.
Bove clarifies his futuristic approach stating,
a holographic video beginning with a computed 3D model of some moving object that can be thought of having a whole lot of points on its surface at different depths that change over time. For a computer to make that model holographic, it needs to figure out the intensity of light that would be reflected from each point on the object to the point where the viewer’s eyes will be.
The researchers here wish to bring 3D video display to consumers and medical markets - the display on completion is presumed to be small enough to fit on top of a desk, costing a mere ‘couple of hundred dollars’ that would be well within the consumption propensity of the gamers and technology buffs.
Many researchers from around the world have gruelingly attempted - investing money and time to churn up a Holographic video system that is compact, inexpensive, and easy to use however, Mark III depends on a standard graphics processor instead of a specialized hardware - that could possibly do away with the conventional limitation.
I know you guys would be wondering where is the info on which you could try your hands - I am afraid I found no course or specifications that would guide you guys to build one of this yourself. However, all for the time being is, stay glued here for every modification in the system until it’s finally out there and who knows you could get something of your interest.
