I might be nitpicking, but it seems worn to call this holographic. It is 3d, but it's like an improved lenticular process; it has many views, but they're discrete not continuous, and they don't float above the display.
- vilhelm_s 12y agoAs I understand it, it floats above the display to the same extent that a hologram image does. I guess you could call a hologram an improved lenticular process also (as in, the benefit holograms have over lenticular displays is exactly this light collimation thing?).
- jessriedel 12y agoThe difference between discrete and continuous for 3D is the same as for 2D. Traditional holograms are just like analog images with photographic film. Yes they're both continuous, but they both have serious problems with usability. Discrete techniques, like lenticular displays and LCD screens, are much more robust and become effectively continuous when the resolution gets high enough (retina displays). Calling this a hologram is as semantically accurate as calling a digital movie a "film".
- pyre 12y agoI think that when most people hear hologram, they think something reminiscent of Star Wars. These are not 3D volumetric projectors, so I would say that from the layman's point-of-view this is not a hologram.
