In summary, a holographic display is a type of display technology that uses light diffraction and interference patterns to create three-dimensional images. It works by using a laser or other light source to create an interference pattern on a recording medium and has benefits such as not requiring special glasses or headsets and providing a larger viewing angle. It is currently being used in various industries and the latest developments include advancements in hardware and software, as well as ongoing research into telepresence and teleconferencing applications.

I don't know where to post this so here it is.

I've googled it, found something interesting by USC Graphic lab, turns out it's a rotating mirror, emulating a holographic displayer, but fair enough, it's still quite amazing.

Is there anything that does not require specific medium? For example, projecting in the middle of the air? I know it may not be scientifically possible.

Moving to tech.

holographic vapor displays have been around for several years now, but that is all I know about.
 

1. What is a holographic display?

A holographic display is a type of display technology that creates three-dimensional images using light diffraction. It uses interference patterns to create the illusion of depth and can display images that appear to be floating in mid-air.

2. How does holographic display work?

Holographic display works by using a laser or other light source to create an interference pattern on a recording medium, such as a holographic film. When the film is illuminated with a coherent light source, the recorded hologram is reconstructed and creates a three-dimensional image.

3. What are the benefits of holographic display?

Holographic display has several benefits, including the ability to display three-dimensional images without the need for special glasses or headsets. It also allows for a larger viewing angle and more realistic images than traditional displays.

4. What are some current applications of holographic display?

Holographic display technology is currently being used in various industries, including entertainment, medical imaging, and engineering. It is also being used for advertising and product displays, as well as in virtual and augmented reality experiences.

5. What are the latest developments in holographic display?

The latest developments in holographic display include advancements in the hardware and software used to create and display holographic images, as well as the development of new materials for recording holograms. There is also ongoing research into using holographic display for telepresence and teleconferencing applications.
