Holographic
-
A team of Chinese scientists has developed a new nanoparticle-based film that can store information as 3D holograms, improving data density, read and write speeds and stability in harsh conditions.

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? Scientists have developed a process called volumetric 3D printing that uses lasers to create complete objects in one go inside a tank of liquid resin.

Australian company Euclideon has built a working prototype of what it calls the world's first true multi-user hologram table. Up to four people can walk around a holographic image and interact with it wearing only a pair of glasses - a far cry from bulky AR headgear. It's set to go on sale in 2018.

In order for AR glasses to become a mainstream tool, they need to be capable, comfortable and compact enough to be worn on the face while accommodating for the inherent complexities of human vision. Judging from a new prototype, Microsoft researchers are making important strides in that direction.

ScienceAlthough most holograms are still pretty tiny, a team from Australia’s RMIT and the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) have created the world’s thinnest holographic display, encoding a 3D image onto a material just 25 nanometers thick.

Fog screens, where images are projected onto a fine mist, could open up the possibility of interactive holograms. To make those projections a bit clearer, a team at the University of Sussex has found a way to make shape-shifting fog screens that stays in focus and let multiple users work together.

We think of Wi-Fi as bathing us in a comfy, invisible blanket of data and internet access, but just as a blanket can take on the shapes of the bodies it covers, the microwave radiation sent out from a hotspot can be used to generate a three-dimensional image of the surrounding environment.

ScienceIf there's one thing that sci-fi movies love, it's the idea of 3D displays that people can view from different angles. Well, researchers have created a system in which lasers are used to create bubbles, which in turn make up 3D images within a column of liquid.

ScienceCurrent holographic technologies are nowhere near the realistic, life-size projections portrayed in movies like Star Wars, but things are moving in the right direction with researchers having developed a new holographic display that they claim performs 2,600 times better than existing technologies.

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, BMW is showcasing its look at the future of the automotive industry. One of those visions is the BMW i Inside Future "sculpture," a concept that envisions a future of automated driving and connected lifestyles.
-
Big motor shows still have a place for auto makers, but CES in Las Vegas is fast becoming a fashionable place to launch new connected concept cars and cabins. At CES 2017, BMW's HoloActive Touch Concept will preview what the connected, gesture-controlled interior of the future might look like.

The need for today's drivers to have access to a wide array of information at a glance has led designers to rethink traditional cabin layouts. Lexus is using the Paris Motor Show to share a peek at its vision for a connected, intuitive interior.
