If you thought that holographic images from Star Wars and other movies would always remain merely the fanciful ideas of science fiction, the you may be underestimating American ingenuity. Over at ScienceNews.org, there’s a story entitled, Coming soon: Holographic Skype – Researchers close to creating real-time 3-D TV – that reports
Arizona researchers have created the first 3-D hologram movie that plays almost in real time, they report in the Nov. 4 Nature. It?s the fastest known demonstration of telepresence, where a 3-D hologram depicts a scene from another location.
