New Smartphone-Powered System Creates Realistic 3D Holograms on the Cheap
-
New algorithm uses smartphones instead of lasers to generate 3D holographic images, making the system practical and affordable.
-
Method displays full-color 3D images across two holographic layers using an iPhone screen and spatial light modulator.
-
Holds potential for improving augmented/virtual reality displays by incorporating realistic 3D visuals.
-
Uses computationally generated holography with incoherent light from a smartphone screen to reduce cost.
-
Researchers working on enhancing the technology to display larger holographic images with more layers for added realism.
