"Up until now, holography has been for the eyes only, and if you'd try to touch it, your hand would go right through. But now we have a technology that also adds the sensation of touch to holograms."
Clearly I missed something here -- what are they using to create the holograms?
- sesqu 16y agoCurved mirrors. So not movie holograms; you can't put anything behind the projections. That makes the illusion very fragile at some touch surfaces. The sensation technology has the same projective limitation, so you can't have anything else opposite to your hand. Together, they could give a reasonable hemisphere of touch and sight. However, the touch technology is separate and will work with any hologram in a controlled space.
