Discover the Real World - Holography

The next best thing to reality

Objects that seem to float towards you, urging you to touch them - SeeReal display technologies open up a new world of visualisation. A more realistic 3-dimensional view gives the impression of actually being there, allowing the user to engage with an object or a situation in a way never seen before.

The electro-holographic display approach, using an observer window, has enabled large-volume holographic reconstruction with real-time calculation. The observer tracking solution, as implemented in the first prototype, is compared to new concepts providing for a larger tracking angle. The first approach uses an LED array to back-illuminate a shutter panel that serves as a steerable illumination source. Another approach dynamically varies deflection angle with an electrowetting prism array mounted in front of the spatial light modulator.
