Introduction of the technology

DEFINITION

“A technique which enables three-dimensional Images to be made”

Using a laser, interference, diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording, the image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three-dimensional.

PRINCIPLE

Introduction of the technology

3D display is currently being applied to exhibitions and concerts, etc. However….

Limitations of current technology Needs a physical screen or reflector.Impossible to see the image at different perspectives, or a 360-degree revolution Impossible to convey the object in real time (needs to be pre-recorded.)

We focused on “Active Display” Active Display : Undeveloped real-time 360 angle display, without the need of a screen

Current technology of Active Display

Introduction of the technology

Show real-time 3Dtransparent images of real objects,

• possible to test functions of real products

at different angles and perspectives

• a 360-degree revolution• Possible to see inside of

real products

3D IMAGE VISUALIZATION

No need for eyeglasses and screens

The hologram is able to convey motions of the sender to the receiver in real time through wireless internet.

STORABILITY

REAL TIME

The design of recording and output device is getting smaller, thinner and lighterto make the product convenient and portable.(EX. Large projector screen -> cell-phone LCD screen)

Possible to restore the destructed information with remnants.

Design of the recording device

and output device

Possible to see the 3D image without any goggles and projecting walls (existing 3D products require eyeglasses)

FUNCTION DESIGN

Q1: Function and Design of the Technology & Future uses

Q1: Function and Design of the Technology & Future uses

FUTURE USES

Gaming Realize the new concept of game in which users can interact with 3D holograms.

Exhibitions Exhibit culture assets located in different regions at one exhibition room through 3D holograms.

Video conference Improves the limitations of existing teleconferences.Communicate with 3D real-time holograms of others in a remote region. Feels like talking with a real person

Education Enhances all visual aspects of

education and makes it more accurate and closer to real life.

Advertising3D holograms allow viewers to feel more closer to the products and see it as if they were seeing it in real life.

Concerts and performing art3D holograms increase the excitement and enjoyment of any form of art.

Manufacturing or commercial useAble to make a holographic prototype that allows you to see the insides of the product. Allows for benchmarking and testing to be conducted. Can view the product in a 360 degree angle whenever and wherever.

Military Helps military research with 3D holograms of weaponary.

Q1: Function and Design of the Technology & Future uses

Real-time holograms can cause data overload that will deteriorate the quality of the network, which may cause them to block internet usage of hologram products.

Telecom companies do not want to pay network development costs.

The equipment for holographic images is rather complex and expensive.

Technological advancement needs a great deal of research and financial investment

High Cost

Holography

Conflicts with telecom companies

Q2: The obstacles for the technology adoption

Holography

Lack of privacy for users

• Viewing a 3D hologram on your phone will allow those around you to see it as well.

Lack of technological advancement

Technological advancement to remove the screen & to use it in every-day life is greatly needed.Current technology is inadequate in regards to internet speed, processing units and a screen/reflecting medium

Creation of economic value to the point where it can cover a high level of initial investment.Reduction of developing and operation cost .

A wide variety of contents need to be created by the users and other companies in order to keep the progress of the technology going.

Convenience of usageCustomized serviceEstablish public interest through public relations

Technological aspect

Technology development

Core technologies need to be secured.Improvement of processing speed and internet speedRemoval of the screenDevelopment of self-viewing for the privacy of usersTechnology that allows the viewer to see the hologram in a simple miniature version for self-viewingNational funding

Needs trained experts and a selection of a specialized institution for intense research.Policies for solving conflicts with telecom companies.Policies for solving privacy issues.

Q2: The requirements for diffusion

Entertainment, exhibition, concerts, games, theme parks and other cultural and entertainment industries will be able to develop.

Real time information solves problems related to location and time when it comes to things like conferences and exhibits.

Accurate and more detailed images through holograms will allow customers to purchase things online in a more reliable manner.

A variety of industries will be able to develop and create economical value. 3D holograms will allow for more sophisticated and extensive research to be

conducted. Realistic images will allow for more realistic and effective education.

Q3: The consequences of the technology in our society

The drawbacks Illegal contents will be produced and it will be hard to control. Lack of privacy: everyone around you will be able to see the hologram. If it is too realistic, the problem with gaming addictions may rise. Decrease of personal interaction(face-to-face meetings, …)

The benefits

Government support

Regulation to prohibit immoralUses of hologram technologies

Hologram technology can be used in immoral uses such as commercialization of sex and improper military purposes

May need laws or regulations to prevent this.

An Official R&D Institution

Needs a specialized organization to do research in this area.

Need professionals who can fully understand holograms and can help to further develop them.

Hologram technology is a complex and highly sophisticated that needs a great deal of research and financial investment

Financial investment & incentives or

government support on R&D

Copyright infringement

Needs a software or technology in order to block unlimited copying of products.

A policy in regards to copyright infringement needs to be created so that developers and users will feel safe to keep creating content.

Q4: The institutional mechanisms necessary for the technology

ENJOY

.

HATE

I would enjoy being able to see the entirety of an object whenever I want to. I don’t have to meet the person or object in person to see what it looks like as a whole. More intimate connection with the object. Can view the object in real life size. I would be able to feel closer to whoever I am communicating with.

Real time communication. Being able to see a person in 3D is a lot more realistic.

Can see the insides of a product. Provides more information.

Complicated concepts and studying materials are easier to understand. 3D holographic gaming would be very new and fun because the holograms will follow my

movements. Able to view objects and artifacts from different locations all in one place.

Lighting, space, people around me. It would feel a bit awkward because everyone around me would be able to see the

hologram as well. Lack of privacy.

Q5: How would you feel about using the technology?

Isn’t very mobile. Can’t view while walking.

It will not be possible to make a portable holographic display like they showed in Star Wars.○ A real-time, 360 degree angle holographic display without the

need of a screen.

1. Create, capture, and restore holographic images.

2. Holographic image processesor.

3. Holographic image display/recorder. 1. (will always need a phsyical screen.)

Multiple, miniature cameras. (Possible)

• Able to take multiple pictures of the object at high speeds.

Higher and faster powered CPUs. (Possible)• Able to process the

pictures from the cameras in real time.

Small lasers (Impossible)• Can not project the

image without a physical display to view it on. Therefore, it has to be immobile.

Q5: When and how the technology will be adopted?

WHEN?

HOW?
