Abstract

An added dimension Three-dimensional holographic displays simulate natural human vision without the need for special eyewear. This makes them particularly suited to applications that require situational awareness, such as medical, industrial and military imaging. The current crop of commercial holographic 3D displays either lack image-updating capability (so are 'write-once' devices) or have poor image persistence. Tay et al. now report the development of a recording medium based on specially designed photorefractive polymers that combines a number of favourable properties. They demonstrate a holographic 3D display based on this material that can record and display new images every few minutes, has a significant size (4×4 inch), can be viewed for several hours without the need for refreshing, and can be readily erased and updated with new images.
