Still, hurdles to making a working holographic display remain. The image quality isn't yet perfect, said Heide, and the fabrication process for the optical elements needs to be improved.

The HWD system is composed of three key elements: a specially designed windshield, a dashboard-mounted projector, and a ...

Remember the scene in Iron Man 2 where Tony Stark rediscovers a new element and is handling virtual 3D holographic elements with his hands, moving them around, pinching, swiping, flicking, and tossing ...

Full Holonomic control of colloidal particles is achieved by combining mostly rotational magnetic manipulation with translational manipulation by holographic optical tweezers (HOT) in a single ...

These materials contain two monomers, in which the first monomer is thermally or optically gelled, providing a physical scaffold to support encapsulated elements or photo-patterned ... A post-exposure ...

Credit: Zeiss To create transparent glass like an airplane window, Zeiss relies on a combination of micro-optical structures and holographic optical components, depending on the need. This may ...

The solution was then cast on a holographic diffraction-grating master ... In these cases, the optical element serves simultaneously as the optical transducer and as the sample, and thus forms ...

"Our proposed approach is to design a pancake optic where all the focusing power is performed by holographic optical elements rather than bulk optics," Maimone and Wang wrote in their paper.
