3D Holography Integrated Glasses Could Unlock Mixed Reality
PRINCETON, N.J., May 2, 2024 — Holographic images have real depth due to their three-dimensional shape, whereas monitors can only simulate depth on a 2D screen. Because humans perceive the world in three dimensions, holographic images could be integrated seamlessly into the normal view of the everyday world. With this in mind, researchers from Princeton University and Facebook creator Meta are working towards mixing the real and virtual worlds using high-definition 3D holographic images.
