According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hologram USA and its CEO, Alki David, say the hologram infringed on its patented system to project 3D images on stage
Microsoft unveiled a new hologram platform today as part of its new operating system
The holographic software is built into Windows 10 already, the company said. Though Microsoft is working on its own hardware, the platform will also work for other virtual reality software like Oculus Rift and Google Glass
Microsoft executive built a virtual flying drone, which the company then showed could be 3D printed. Alex Kipman, who helped lead the project, called it “print preview for 3D printing”.
The technology, known as UltraHaptics, is a haptic feedback system using ultrasound that provides users with a buzz-like feeling of pressure on their hand.
The technology does not just provide the sensation of flat surfaces, but can also be used to create the feel of 3D objects.
Sculptors could also use the technology to shape virtual objects using just their hands
Hologram projections could be given a texture, with museum visitors
it could be used to indicate to drivers when a car is in their blind spot by providing a buzzing sensation on their neck, or developed as a wearable for blind people to indicate the presence of a road or obstacle
consumer fields are likely to be most interested due to the technology’s ability to augment existing entertainment systems.
A team of researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Sussex have developed the world's first functioning sonic tractor beam able to operate outside of a lab environment.
These waves create an "acoustic hologram" (read: force field) capable of moving pea-sized objects without physically touching them. Adjusting the output of individual speakers allows the researchers to move, rotate and hold items at will.
A new way of manipulation without direct phisical contact may lead to creation of stractures that were impossible and innovate production methods in veriety of industries.
