It was definitely challenging capturing three dimensional light objects on a 2D screen (our shooter John had a FUN time with this one!), but I have to say it was very cool to see this tech in person! Biggest question: Where do you want to see this used?
Restaurants definitely. Also thanks for the video.
Is it a flat image suspended in midair? In other words, if you move around the projection do you see it from another angle like a real object? Can you see the front of the iguana? That sounds like a dumb question because it doesn’t seem possible but this already looks impossible.
In the medical field! And, how did that hologram move the plant with it's holographic tongue? Can it touch things that are solid, but solid objects cannot touch it and make it move?
@@blake99368 The plant is rigged to an actuator as an example of how holograms could interact with the physical world to heighten the illusion.
billboards i guess. get the blade runner vibes going
Well as long as we're living in a cyberpunk dystopia, we should at least start getting the aesthetic going.
Best comment.
Hear hear.
@Christian William What do you mean "despite the fact"? If someone is suggesting an aesthetic change... isn't that the focus/purpose? Not despite, just the reverse, specifically because of.
@Christian William How cost effective are Maseratis? How cost effective is bespoke fashion? I don't know what world you live in, but here on the planet I live on called Earth "cost effective" is not what determines if a thing gets created or not, it just determines if it's exclusively for rich people, or something for everyone. I am not sure how dimensional travel works, but I hope we can find a way to get you from whatever drab, oppressively Germanic and purely functional world you come from and here to the planet Earth, where beauty and aesthetics matter. You know on Earth they even have this thing called "art" that has zero functional purpose. People pay sometimes millions of dollars for examples of it, but it doesn't serve any specific function or purpose. It's not even 1% cost effective, yet it is one of the most important things on this planet to the vast majority of people here.
Yeah, it's a bit heavy on the dystopia. Writer must be in their grimdark phase.
I’m always skeptical when they have a whole room and the demo is the size of a book
Yeah, and it's surrounded with crap as if they're really trying to hide something.
There's a massive computational cost to holography. The size is likely limited by the computer running it.
I guess its using the mechanics of a lenticular lense but LCD/LED.
I mean, for decades they also have building sized computers to do what a fraction of what now you do by something you can have in your pocket...
Give this 10 years to mature. you don't start at the top. Looking like a great start. I hope the large displays around cities and home units are in the next 10 years.
I would love a holographic aquarium. No species limitations, no maintenance, sounds awesome.
I'm developing that now.
@@chrishayes962 really?
@@hxy1600 yes I'll open America's first interactive digital park this summer!
true and with AI the animals can behave like real animals, I feel like this would be a much more ethical solution to holding animals captive at the zoo, but then again, nothing beats the real experience
I seen a clip on CZcams where Wales was flying around and dipping through real water it's a hologram id shyt my self if I seen it driving by tho 😂😂😂 Wales all up in the sky n shyt...
As someone unimpressed and spatial once said "I'll believe it when I see it!"
I mean no doubt this happening I mean look how much has changed in past 10yrs
I'll be impressed when they show a 360 view of one of those, instead of a single angle demo.
It only works if the object are in line if sight to the screen, so for 3 perpendicular screens, max would be 90°
This is why I’m skeptical and why it comes off a bit as hype. That’s not to say it isn’t awesome, but it’s not _quite_ at the level as the reviewer suggests by comparing it to Star Wars. It reminds me of a variation of what Looking Glass has been working on for a long time, which has been a display with lenticular lenses (so only horizontal 3D). However, it’d be cool if this allowed you to see a 3D object in full surround without having a display behind it per se, but… hard to tell from this super limited example.
@@averroes1216 As this seems to be a (lightfield) led screen, perhaps they could eventually make one in a cylinder or sphere format and have the image appear inside
@@backacheache yeah, but then you can't touch the image
@@averroes1216 Since you can't actually touch the image anyway I think a cylinder (or cube) would be a more than good enough solution by me.
Edit: Or make it a sphere and call it a palantir!
"I'm 6 inches into this box and all I'm feeling is air." Phrasing!

Was looking for this comment haha
That's what he said
like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.
The plant moving when the chameleon catches the fly really sells it :D
Can't wait till I'm able to walk into an airport and see all my much wanted advertisements as a hologram.
Every step we take towards better holograms is a step closer to seeing real life Yu-Gi-Oh! One day, please.

I 've got the right one for the job. Trust me.
My wife's catered and walked up to my monitor cause sims4 cat maker was sitting there 🤣
good idea, lol
I thought the same thing 😀
I studied holographics decades ago. I understand the basics. I too was inspired by Star Wars special effects.
I never expected the technology to mature to this level in my lifetime. I'm certainly going to keep an eye on this (pun intended). Thank you.
i just want Cortana :[
@@John-X she's installed on every windows 10 wdym?
@@CatGuy969 no i want her in Hologram form...& i wanna choose from Halo 1, 2, & 3 appearances...
this isn't ground breaking
Would be great to see history at the museum like this.
I wish you could take more angles on the hologram, there's only two points of view and don't trust this is 3D. I've been heartbroken with holograms news the last 20 years.
If it was a holo-projector that did not need a screen I might have been more impressed.
Oh boy you did not know what light field tech is then
It's clearly not a real 3D hologram, they just want to hype it up like it is to attract investors. By the way the display is set up, any viewing angles beyond 15° will ruin the illusion; meaning not only is it not a real 3D hologram, but it's almost completely useless in most marketing applications that would want a hologram.
Real holograms like in Star Wars are impossible, you'd have to alter the laws of physics to stop light from travelling. You can't bend light in thin air, without something blocking it. So CNet should use less clickbaity titles.
@@Retrovibes then you do not know the technical definition of hologram
This looks incredible. I can’t wait to see this in theme parks!
I saw it at Disneyland around `69. These guys are foreigners.
@@IndigenousUndergroundPrimate Reflecting light off of glass doesn't count.
I legit didn’t think we were going to get there anytime soon!
@@IndigenousUndergroundPrimate lmao, okay.
I saw one in a theme park way back .. it looked real .. but maybe it is dated now.
I saw something similar over 20 years ago, it was a reflection of an object that effectively made look like an object was in reach but it was just the way the angle of the reflection would appear to show the object.
This reminded me of it, but it seems like they improved being able to see it from more angles. I want to see it being possible to walk around it and have no screen or just a wide-angle view from away.
The fact that there was no light in contact with the hand while reaching the place where it should be possible to feel it makes me think that it's a clever play on that projection from my childhood.
I appreciate and am excited to look at it on its own merit nonetheless and I would love to be personally there to se what it is like, it's definitely impressive that it's possible to look with a magnifying glass and get augmentation of the image of the object, that's impressive on its own, for sure!
spot on, I'm positive this is exactly what's going on, 2 curved mirrors and a flatscreen, probably some angle trickery also for that depth as a flat screen would stay flat after
So cool that we have this and transparent TV screens now.
Imagine doing 3d modelling with this kind of output device on your desk.
Got hand sensors or something so you can just spin it around Tony Stark style
There is a 3d display that exists right now that I think has a blender plug in so that's kind of possible
@@njdotson is that so? Could you post a link to that please.
you could get the hololens 2- super expensive and requires headset, but its a thing. Made for collaborations and such for projects like that
@@onen0zednine753 never heard of that. Is it available for personal use?
They’re going to need to update the definition of solid light when they actually create holograms you can actually touch
I’d love to see dinosaurs in a museum being animated using this technology.
From what I can gather seeing that it's only ever displayed in dark settings is that for now this probably looks faint/hazt in daylight because the technology isn't very bright yet. I hope this changes and we get to see this in our daily lives soon! 😁
Think you're spot on. Why is it buried behind so much crap? Probably to keep it as dark as possible around it because it cant handle ambient light at all. Also Its suspicious that they are using a single lightsource for the demo but telling us how impressive many of them together are too. Why not demo that then?
To me this reeks of marketing hyping up something that isnt actually much of an improvement if at all over current tech.
Because there is no such thing as black light, it always has to be in a dark place. Like projectors, the blackest black is the ambient darkness.
@@dizvib Yes but they're advertising it as a leap in technology and a "real hologram" then they show videos of giant billboards in times square that look like they're out of Back to the Future or a cyberpunk city and clearly this isn't capable of any of that. Also notice how she said there was an optimal viewing distance which was like 3 feet away? How will that translate to large displays viewed from really far away like billboards?
Very skeptical of this. It could still be cool for other purposes don't get me wrong but it seems like too much marketing BS surrounding it. It could be awesome for viewing 3d models for artists in a controlled desktop environment.
@@doc-holliday- Yeah true. I personally like different kind of optic technologies. They are all fun tools on their own. It's the expectations and wrong marketing that causes them to fail. I call it the iPhone illness. Because iPhone changed a whole industry and partially society by itself, every new technology is getting measured by this success.
@@doc-holliday- because it is a real hologram all so there are far brighter versions the issue is they either have to be in water or are blindingly bright
WoW, this is incredible. We, really, are living in the future. Literally, all the sci-fi tech i dreamed about as a kid is coming true.
*When is the holodeck happening?*
Ooooh man, I wish I looked behind the door that said "definitely no holodeck in here" ;)
Not really. It is still a long way off before it is ready for the market, as are thousands of other "future technologies"
@@unmei4828 in the video Claire said it will be available next year.
now we need flying cars, and i don't mean helicopters :D
@@boyohoyo1569 I want to see flying cars too
My mind is kinda blown, finally been able to project images into thin air! Incredible
I know what would have been an interesting demonstration: using a handheld mirror to see two perspectives on the thing at once.
Amazing imagine what we'll be able to do with movies, shows, games, video games, and education in years to come. With this tech the sky is the limit.
I was thinking about yu gi oh. I can already imagine how awesome it would be playing using this technology
Would be amazing.
However, I can see it being very limited due to the amount of cards they would have to implement and then the issue of how immersive the visual effects would be.
I love yugioh im 31 i still have cards from when it first came out in America and i have 3 decks i order cards online to build them too but i got into duel links and love it too
@@alan.92 in that case it would mean more effort =more money
It would be way more popular than pokémon go ever could be.
And CF Vanguard too! Would be so cool to see the characters attack each other
I read about this technology years ago. They were still working on it. They could only do it in a single color, but it worked. It's like a flashlight and you can't see the beam itself, but it was another light too. When the two lights connect, is where the image shows. So cool, even back then.
Thanks for the video. It would be great to have another explaining and showing the device used. The applications of this technology are immense: Entertainment, medical, education, military,...
Very exciting! I hope to see it in person!
Man, I really hope this is actually as cool as you're claiming
She says it's optimised for wider viewing angles, but the cameraman never shows us that. He's always capturing from the same exact spot.
And the image freezes when her and the cameras eyeliner is broken by her hand. It's sensor based like a Nintendo 3ds.
~1980, I saw a holographic exhibit in London that had a 3D holographic objects appearing behind the holographic plate and a 3D holographic magnifying glass, the same type that she is using. appearing midair in front of the holographic plate. But, the most amazing part was that the holographic image of the magnifying glass actually magnified the objects, exactly like a real lens does.
"6 inches into this box" giggity loool.
Giggity giggity goo
Really impressive. I wonder if that kind of technology could for example project a touchable 3D display from a smartwatch.
I hope someday regular consumers can get their hands on something like this. Using this could make an amazing D&D table, if they can be placed horizontally, not just vertically like a TV.
Good on her for reaching it instead of just showing it from from different angles again and again.
Disney and Universal would love to get their hands on this.
The title is deceptive. It isn't a hologram. But it is a very advanced 3D screen presumably using a lightfield display. This isn't a "true" hologram, but it is still something very cool. I'd be curious to see if it could display a full scene with objects at various depths, or if it can only display a single object like they've shown off.
Exactly, with multi depth layerings
I mean, the difference between a diffraction hologram and a pixel-based light field is kind of like the difference between digital and film photographs. With enough pixels, the distinction doesn't really matter. They're both approximating the same continuous 4D light field function.
I've seen true holographic images floating in space, but you need very powerful and dangerous lasers, and you can't have hospital level filtered air or it won't have anything to disperse off of. Normal air has enough particulates to make an image float. It still looks odd though. The intensity is too high.
The best 3D tech will be plugging into our brains directly. (Either Matrix style or Neuralink surface mount chips)
Define your version of a hologram?
@@Create-The-Imaginable consider that they talk immediately about R2-D2's hologram as the representative example of a hologram. The reporter is siting holograms that require nothing behind them to function. Then they say "REAL holograms are finally here!" and I have to wonder if they would even be able to identify a real hologram by their own definition. (Again, them referring to R2-D2). So really, they have a fancy glassesless 3D TV. Not a hologram like our favorite little droid made.
“It’s so 3D we can only show it to you from one angle, in the middle of this plastic jungle diorama!”
This is really awesome ❤️ Kudos to the team
The Disney imagineers would LOVE this!!!!
Finally! I can’t wait to experience this in person!
We’ve done it
"I'm six inches into this box and all I'm feeling is air." Might wanna rewrite that one.
Wow! That hologram is cool!
It even interacts with its surroundings!
They never really show how she “passes through” the hologram…. I am always very skeptical when it comes to things like this
It's because of the angle we're viewing it at.
Yeh its totally a conspiracy like 5G towers.
You don't see it on camera, but she does because she's actually there. Your eyes work differently than a camera, and they'll trick you in real life, giving the desired illusion of the hologram. Kinda like how we can see helicopter blades on camera not moving at all when they're in the air flying due to the camera fps speed marching the blades revolutions. At the end of the day that's what it is: an illusion, and it gives us the desired result.
@@ticktockbam If her hand is actually passing through it, her fingers should not be visible. The "solid light" should obscure any part of her hand that has passed through it.
It's the same technology as the Nintendo 3DS.
Project Bluebeam is otw
I'd like to see how well it performs in a well lit room. Even still, I'm impressed.
For those still skeptical, keep in mind that Ray Kurzweil has said technology advances at an exponential rate. If this is where the technology is now, we'll be seeing it in our lifetime
"6 inches into the box" phrasing.
Hahahaha..
So cool! I hope hologram will become a reality in my lifetime.
We need to see it in person to appreciate it, it’s lackluster online
1991, Time Traveler arcade game. It was a basic game but used holograms. It was amazing for the time.
Claire this is fantastic. I picture meeting room conferences will be definitely use this to look at 3D plans or just video conferencing
2:38 could say the same thing about an ex girlfriend
This actually make sense since it’s converging to the same point but in films it’s unrealistic since it diverges from the light source
Imagine a camera that, instead of creating images, captures the moment itself so you can do whatever you want with it later on.
This is amazing just imagine walking into a horror house mine blown or just imagine playing a video game can’t wait to see water come from this technology the future is bright.:.
yep game streaming and ready player one universe
@ it will be amazing
I already do in vr
Yeah, the Nintendo 3DS.
Project blue beam
Someday in the future, we’ll all look at this the same way we now look at a 1980s video showcasing the first computer.
This is incredible! They really did it? A holographic full color video screen. Wow!
Questions that should've been asked and answered: 1. Does it have a 3D feel? Or still only 2D? 2. When viewing at different angles, is it the same perspective, or are you moving around the object?
The fact the demo isn't wall sized raises some eyebrows.
They are very clearly different perspectives. That is true in principle for Lightfield displays and it is visibly obvious in the video.
Unlike something like the Looking Glass, this can actually project objects with consistent shape and full parallax. You can look at it from any direction within the 100 degree field of view and see an accurate image of the object including not just parallax, but also reflection, refraction, specularity, and other view-dependent effects.
It can in principle project objects much further out, but without additional panels to pass the image over to, you would quickly break line of sight if you tried to move. We'll have to wait for larger installations to do that. Projecting objects _behind_ the display is a lot easier since you don't need to worry about line of sight. (it basically becomes a window)
Judging by 3:31, it also seems to have enough view-density to be focusable, at least with a large camera lens. (notice how the background foliage passing _behind_ the chameleon is blurred while the foreground is pixelated)
@@Dayanto yeah I was stoked when I see looking glass but became disappointed as soon as I know the parallax only works in the horizontal direction
@@Dayanto This might be better, but by no means revolutionary, and good luck getting this at a decent price next year for consumers. lol
Can't wait to play yugioh duel monster with this technology. Pretty sure they gonna rename themselves kibacorp when this get big
I hope it will happen soon
Please use it to create the "heads in a jar" found on Futurama. We could have an entire collection of celebrities.
Imagine computer games in the future after this hologram technology has been harnessed more n more as time goes by. Amazing

@@averroes1216 how's that? It's not even out yet.
This is gonna do wonders for theme park attractions! 😁
In all seriousness, this is truly groundbreaking. I was waiting with baited breath to hear you say that the tech is scalable and thankfully, you did. I can see museums benefiting particularly.
Can't wait to see this tech get cheaper and start making its way into our homes - That quick snippet of a telepresence application seems an ideal use for the technology.
Oh... And I was only half-joking about the theme park thing. Haunted house installations using this tech are going to be absolutely terrifying! 😨
Just wait till they fake an alien invasion on the world. Look up project Blue beam
While impressive no matter if my skepticism is true or not, her hand never passed through the "solid light" and the camera man was not allowed to circle strafe the projection.
Amazing, this is finally happening. Very cool

I always thought that holograms would be more like what you see in the game dead space; a fast moving laser that reflects off of another fast moving laser to create a shape (like when a movie projector hits dust particles and you can see them suspended in mid air) If the two lasers can be properly synchronized and moves fast enough that the human eye can't see the "frames", I think it would work (obviously it would be difficult to do more complicated colors without a grid of small lasers that can change between RGB as fast as a TV screen can)
Lasers/light is made up of photons, which are bosons. That essentially means that light always passes straight through light. Light cannot bounce off of other light.
@@stevenjones8575 okay, but just to clarify, when two beams of light intersect, the intersection becomes a higher contrast (or we at least perceive as such) I'm guessing a laser could be used in the same way to create a floating image if we could make a machine that could time itself perfectly.
@@andrewdemarest1606 It can be done, but it would require an immense amount of power to render a reasonably large surface during even low intensity daylight. It would also require using N amount of low intensity lasers of which the beams need to be orientated to all surfaces of the frame in space, rendering the orientation system non-mechanical((1m2/1mm2(resolutiom))*60hz(CFF) = 6Mhz peak calibration). So if you have enough power and liquid crystal lenses that can durably function around the Mhz calibration range it could certainly be a possibility.
Mysterio be takin notes right now
An arcade game in a wide area would look cool with this tech. I use to go to this arcade that's shutdown that had wacky puppets do animations when you shot a laser at the sensor above them
its gonna be spooky when a deceased love ones is projected by this ❤️❤️❤️
There’s a real hologram with a few hundred perspectives that’s been released called the looking glass 3d it’s basically the same thing as this vid but better. They’re working on making larger ones for sale but for now you can only buy the smallest one and pre-order the medium and large ones.
Do you know about price
Tsukuba's University Fairylights is still in development, but it is the most awe inspiring hologram technology ever.
It produces an actual volumetric voxel in mid air that you can touch and feel it on your skin.
What we need for this to be legitimate is a three-dimensional hologram where you can walk around it and the projection comes up from the floor or down from the ceiling.
Sooooo Jaws 19 could be a real thing??
Can’t wait when this technology becomes so developed that we can then walk into a movie to look around.
I'm waiting for this experience too haha
Would people prefer that over using a VR headset to walk into a virtual world about the movie, though?
It would be difficult for movie maker without cgi
@@user-is1rf1mz6p I was trying to imagine how much more complicated shooting a movie would be if they had to consider placement of all the equipment used, dollys, tracks, booms etc. so they were not visible from all angles so I think you are right CGI would be the easiest way.
You can already do that with a VR headset!

@@MrFloppyHare But they said we could see in a year because they have investments from Samsung like companies.
@@thesunset5610 See what in a year? Some commercial application, like the advertising display they showed, perhaps. Certainly not a holographic game!
Time will tell what will happen.
@@thesunset5610 As always. But you won't be seeing holographic games within a year, that's for sure.
For one, take a good look at the demonstration that they're showing. Yes, it might be an actual 'hologram', but the viewing angles are very much limited by how it is placed within that 'diorama'. This means, that it's still not a hologram that you can walk around and view from all sides. If it had been, they would've showed something floating in the center of the room.
It's a nice demonstration, and it looks good for what it is, but it's still very much early days.
I'm ready for the hollodeck, make it so!
Can't wait to have my Ben 10 Omnitrix watch with holographic characters 😭
I'm happy because I love tech and I'll get to see this in person within a couple years. Seems like this tech could scale into the consumer market relatively easily and manifest in all kinds of interesting and useful ways --so yay for that. I'm most excited for the holodeck.
I'm sad because ad spam will now enter yet another possibly more intrusive medium, that I'll have to explain to my elderly in-laws whom are already struggling with smartphones. And by the time I'm their age, I'll be just as bewildered and disoriented by whatever consumer tech is in common use at the time.
