A team of researchers has developed the first 3D hologram that can be touched and moved by hand, opening the door to fully interactive holographic experiences. The study, published March 6 in the HAL ...

3D holograms have always felt like something out of a sci-fi movie. Not anymore. Researchers have discovered a way for people to interact with 3D holograms. Is the future here?

Scientists have created holograms that you can interact with directly for the first time. Using a flexible projector screen called a diffuser, the team allowed for a human to “insert our hands ...

We have all thought about what it would be like to touch and play with holograms, just like in sci-fi movies. Now, a group of researchers at UPNA has found a way to make that dream come true. It's ...

What we see in films and call holograms are typically volumetric displays,' says Bouzbib, the first author of the work. 'These are graphics that appear in mid-air and can be viewed from various angles ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

While some companies are developing what most people would call holograms, none have allowed for direct manipulation like the kind seen in sci-fi movies—until now. Researchers from the Public ...

Commercial prototypes of volumetric displays already exist, such as those from Voxon Photonics or Brightvox Inc., but none allow for direct interaction with the holograms,' the team points out.
