Last November I presented VividQ’s advancements at Optica Frontiers In Optics and Laser Science. Whilst creating the content for the presentation, I once again realised how far we’ve come as a company. In the early days, we had a revolutionary algorithm which was capable of calculating...
This is the final instalment in the series discussing what holography is (and isn’t!). In my previous post “The Inception of Holography”, we realised that traditional holograms are very much like photos - once recorded, they preserve the 3D nature of the object. And just like...
The key to realistic 3D display technology is answering one, seemingly simple, question: What makes the real world so real? This question has been haunting me for a few years now. A stepping stone towards answering it can be found in the recent SIGGRAPH publication that I...
In my previous post, What holography is NOT, we learnt which technologies are often mistakenly called “holographic”. This time, we’ll start exploring what holography actually is. But before we dive in, we have to recognise the problem: Holography is not a single effect or method - it...
Aberration correction was the topic of a mini-project I completed as a part of the MRes programme at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Connected Photonics and Electronics between Cambridge and UCL. It ended up being a topic so deep and exciting that I spent most...
While preparing for my TEDx talk in 2014, I decided to google several terms that I knew from academic publications and books: “Holography”, “Holographic Display”, “3D Holography”. I was surprised to see that on several pages of results, there were only two or three links...
A policeman stops a student throwing pavement tiles into the river:- Excuse me sir, says policeman, what do you think you’re doing?- Come, officer, have a look. Every time I throw a square, a circle comes out! Isn’t that fascinating?! We humans got deeply accustomed to...
