Emerging Holographic Displays and Their Impact on Storage Demand

A new paper published in ‘Light: Science & Application’ reviews the recent accomplishments made in the field of holographic 3D displays, while an article in Forbes illustrates how heightened reality images and video will swell the demand for digital storage capacity and bandwidth.

In a new review paper ‘Holography, and the future of 3D display’, published in Light: Science & Application ¹, Prof Blanche from the University of Arizona reviews the recent accomplishments made in the field of holographic 3D displays - specifically, the new developments in machine learning and neural network algorithms demonstrating that computer-generated holograms are approaching real-time processing. A section of the paper also discusses the problem of data transmission that can arguably be solved using clever compression algorithms and optical fibre transmission lines.
