Welcome to the future, where the line between the real and virtual world is increasingly thin. We periodically update you on the development of the hologram technology, and its applications Professional and games (including a circus with virtual animals). The Hologram Zoo in Australia the concept evolves. It's the first of its kind: a theme park where virtual reality and hologram technology merge to create an unforgettable experience.
Let's not stop here: this technology is already finding applications in sectors such as aerospace , medicine, and it could soon become a fundamental part of our existence.
Hologram Zoo: a dive into the holographic future
It's been a while since the first Star Wars: holograms are no longer just the stuff of science fiction movies. Bruce DellCEO Axiom Holographics, created a theme park that uses never-before-seen technology. But how exactly does it work? Holograms use a new “depth technology” that makes animals appear large and alive. Moving images are brought to life by a laser projector containing crystals which, through simple glasses worn by guests, separate the fields of light.
Up to this point you might say "and what would be the difference with 3D glasses". Now it gets interesting: The park is equipped with a device that can track the location of every person in the park's perimeter, creating a tailor-made virtual experience. Additionally, sensory technology allows visitors to smell the flowers and trees, making the experience even more immersive. If you want to know more about the Hologram Zoo, come here. We look up for a second.
Beyond the theme park
The Hologram Zoo is just the tip of the iceberg. Bruce Dell reveals that his company has contracts with giants such as Airbus e Honeywell, and is also building a holographic aquarium for a luxury hotel owned by Bill Gates in the Maldives. Yes, you read correctly, a holographic aquarium. Where does this renewed invasion of holograms come from?
One of the barriers to their mass adoption has always been cost. AI and new algorithms that reduce the need for computing power have made holograms cheaper. And then yes, there are also significant improvements in the technology itself. Here's the mystery explained.
Holograms, holograms everywhere
The researchers ofAustralian National University (ANU) they are experimenting with solutions based on meta-optics, or nano-photonics. The Prof. Dragomir Neshev, who is leading the studies, believes holographic techniques could be “transformational” for medicine. They could, for example, guide surgeons inside a patient's body at a cellular level with real-time images. A bit like in the cartoons about the human body that we watched as children. It's a short step from Hologram Zoo to Hologram Hospital. And then?
And then, you already know, floating burgers and pizzas in fast food restaurants, 3D virtual gems to attract buyers in jewelery shops, other devilries halfway between utopia and dystopia. It is no longer a question of "if", but of "when" this technology will become an integral part of our daily lives.
Keep your mind ready, the future could take shape before your eyes.
