The discussion centers around the feasibility of projecting 3D mid-air images and videos without a holographic screen, inspired by the portrayal of holograms in popular media such as Star Wars. Participants explore the current understanding of holography and speculate on future possibilities.
Participants generally agree that current technology does not support the creation of mid-air holograms as depicted in media, but there is no consensus on the potential for future developments or their implications.
The discussion reflects uncertainty regarding the technological and physical principles that would be required to achieve the proposed holographic projections. There are also limitations in the assumptions made about future advancements in this area.
Malaxus said:I am very curious about holograms and if there is a possible way to project 3D , mid-air images and videos on air with no holographic screen (The Princess Leia hologram in Star Wars).
Malaxus said:If it is not possible, how long till they actually start arriving to the world and how will they work/operate?
What if such thing was possible and was to arrive in the next six years? What would change?Drakkith said:Not that we know of at this time. Not like how holography is portrayed in things like star wars and star trek.
We don't even know if such a thing is possible, let alone when it will arrive and how it works.

No, just curious. Thanks anyways. 2020 is the year.Drakkith said:Much more than I could possibly imagine and post about. I'll leave all that to your imagination since it isn't going to happen.
Do you have any questions that have to do with current, real-world physics? If not I'm going to have to lock this thread.
