    Physicists Believe Our Universe Is One Big Hologram, And They May Have Spotted the Pixels

    It's not until you acknowledge the world's greatest physicists do you realize how fundamentally useless our role here is. You and I will not uncover the secrets of the Universe. Luckily, someone's working on it. More »

    Breakthrough in Holographic Tech Makes 3D Sets 5 to 10 Years Away

    Holographic television sets may be only a few years off thanks to a new breakthrough in 3D technology. Researchers at the University of Arizona said they had made the first updatable 3D displays with memory, a prerequisite for getting any holographic image to move. With the new technology, displays can now be erased and rewritten in a matter of minutes. More »

    Holographic Storage is Here, Costs a Lot

    For those of you who were hoping holographic storage would be the solution to piles of Bittorrented DVD movies sitting on your desk, well, that day's not here yet. Instead, holographic storage, which holds up to 300GB on a single disk, is an expensive proposition seeing as the disks cost $180 each and the drive costs $18,000. More »

    4 Sale: World's First Holographic HDTV

    Spotted on eBay: this 80-inch widescreen whose custom cut glass is able to capture light at a certain angle, making images appear to hover in the air when paired up with its included Sanyo LCD HDTV projector. So it's basically a rear projector whose screen is made of glass and hangs out there in the open for all to see. More »

    Holograms, Keeping You Safe Since 2006

    This Sunday s Super Bowl XL marks a first in the world of security measures. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will employ 3D holographic imaging technology to comb the area surrounding Ford Field in Detroit for threats. Though not confirmed, it is believed that the department will likely use the technology, dubbed LifeVision3D by its creator Intrepid Defense & Security Systems, to scan the undersides of cars, monitor the surrounding streets and good old-fashioned face-recognition. So enjoy the game, folks! (Tin foil hats not included.) More »

    Something Holographic This Way Comes

    We've all been waiting for Optware's holographic storage system and it looks like we have about a year left to go. The Optware, which stores data on holographic cards, will cost about $10,000 (WHA!) [Thanks, Donald] for a reader/writer and each card will cost around a buck (!!) which means we'll be carrying 30GB around in our wallets. This is something that sounds like it will change things pretty quickly, a la the Zip drive, and then fall by the wayside to something else even more impressive. However, at least we'll have the first inklings of the potential of holographic storage. You can also cut great lines with one of these cards, as well. [Thanks, Rob] More »
