Holographic Displays

Holographic Vision is a development phase site about holographic photography -- the creation and display of three-dimensional images through the intersection of two beams of coherent light (light in which all the waves are synchronized) within a three-dimensional photosensitive media. In some respects, holographic technology can assist machines to perceive more like people do. One's brain processes large quantities of input from a largely chaotic environment. This enables people to "have meaning of it all." For instance, human vision begins with separate bits of information entered via the eye, but rapidly processes these through a progressive sequence of increasingly high-level constructs before the brain draws conclusions about the input it receives. In like manner, holotechnology science can assist computers to progress from basic "pixel by pixel" sensation to high-level sensation and recognition of challenging environmental configurations. This might be particularly possible with optical neural networks based on holographic applied science. Linked page holographic imaging in the field of medicine also provides useful information.

An expanding field for holotechnology science usages is the practice of medicine. Holographic science can function for diagnostic purposes, treatment, instruction, and research. It has already been used in ophthalmology, radiology, dentistry, urology, otology, pathology and orthopedics. Early medical uses of holographic science have supported imaging, spanning: holotechnology interferograms; holography with time gated pulses; endoscopic holography; and holographic contour imaging. Holotech imaging with temporal gated pulses provides clear watching of elements embedded in translucent material, especially body tissues or semi-transparent tissue. In this respect, it can serve as a high-performance method of imaging for multiple medical uses. Biomedical holography can give three-dimensional pictures of internal body structures to aid in diagnostics and surgical planning. holographic technology and neural networks provides more information on this topic.

Besides access quickness, holotechnology data storage and analytic structures also may be able to provide much greater data storage capacity than present day two-dimensional systems. With two- dimensional media, only the top is employed to store information. While blue laser science is enabling some improvements in data density, the requirements of some upcoming uses may exceed the limits of 2D magnetic and optical data storage density. See the plasticity of holographic data storage as well for more holotech-related material.

Instead of storing data as a linear string of bits like traditional information storage media, holotechnology information storage media store information a whole page at a time. A page of information may be as large as a megabyte of data. All the sections of a page are saved or read concurrently in a three-dimensional translucent matrix. Accordingly, holographic technology opens the door for associative extraction. Associative extraction happens when many holographic pictures inside a storage media are retrieved and the picture that is most similar to a test picture is identified by the intensity of the diffraction. In this manner, one can quickly analyze similarity of configurations without requiring sequential comparison of discrete bits of data. holographic technology and data archiving also deals with these holotechnology concepts.
