TL;DR
How far along are volumetric holographic technologies?


This Voxon technology looks pretty cool. But I'd love to create 3D holograms for 3D models so I don't need to manufacture into physical objects in order to show them. Does anyone have predictions of when this might become more commercial? And what keeps the resolution so low? Still in proof of concept phase?

It would be much easier to think in terms of a stereoscopic display. all you'd need is some software and coloured glasses. Can you not do this 'off the shelf' for available 3D printers? (never used one, tbh but that's not really relevant.)

Stereoscopy is basically still only one side of an object.
 
That doesn’t apply if you generate a display of the view that you want at the time. Your source would rotate the image for projection at the correct angle. I’m ‘offering’ a solution that would be available now. Plus the visible rendered image would easily be coloured.

How far in the future are you suggesting that a full holographic display might work?
