Real holograms (VID!)

[Xionide]

I am sure there has already been posts about IO2's heliodisplays but now they have some videos up.

Check them out here

WOW!

wow, pretty phat!

 

[lokiju]

Pymp!

I wonder exactly what the machine does to the air to get that effect.

 

[Bassyhead]

thats pretty neat

The image isn't volumetric. But still pretty cool, I guess.

They mention in their "technology" page that nothing is added to the air. The only thing I could think of is that they somehow shoot a thin, but wide, stream of warm air. The warm air would refract light differently and you might be able to get a reflected image off of it. But that wouldn't explain how they are developing a transparent-when-viewed-from-the-rear version...

 

[JoeKing]

it must be a "patent pending" method they've developed, hence the reason they don't go into detail how thye do it. Interesting to say the least.

Um I think your on to something. I would never leave my comp..er hologram machine.

Wow, that's cool.

interesting technology,
im thinkinking tthe air molecules coming ing are somehow put into an excited state (more energy, outer electrons move farther form the nucleus) and then when they get hit by the laser they release this energy as photons (same way crt tubes work)

That is not how a CRT works. I say whatever you are smoking, you pass it to everyone else.

i think he means that when you hit the CRT screen with a laser, it converts electrons to photons. he's not exactly right, but not exactly wrong either.

But its a cathode ray not a laser right?

There is absolutely no laser in a cathode ray tube. The cathode ray in a CRT monitor for instance is a beam of electrons that is being aimed using electrical and magnetic fields.
