Large-Scale Rewritable Holograms

February 8, 2008 | Source: Technology Review

A holographic display developed by researchers at the University of Arizona and at Nitto Denko Technical Corporation can be repeatedly written to and erased.

The University of Arizona researchers developed a new polymer-based material that encodes information using electric fields. It could eventually allow for life-sized displays of people and objects the size of cars that could be refreshed every few minutes.
