- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoThis is essentially a kind of continuous 3D holography - unlike conventional holography, which is a 2D transform that represents 3D light paths. And that's very interesting. This is the first application of what could be a very very powerful new technology. So far as I know addressable super-high resolution 2D holographic displays are still a lab curiosity. There are some obvious technical problems with adding depth, but as soon as you have a 3D addressable light matrix that can be reconfigured dynamically, you have a whole new base for physical computing.
