MOBILE HOLOGRAPHICNokia, Intel Team on 3D Holographic Phone Remember when Princess Leia's holographic distress call blew you away? Nokia and Intel announced that they'll try to put similar 3D technology on mobile phones. Over the next three years, the companies will perform research together at Finland's University of Oulu. While the primary goal is to develop 3D interfaces and virtual reality for existing display technology (more on that here), the more interesting possibility is holographic 3D for smartphones. "Another potential area of research could look into technologies that allow displaying a 3D hologram of the person you are talking to on the phone," Intel's press statement says, "a capability only found in science fiction movies today." Heikki Huomo, director of the university's Center for Internet Excellence, told Computerworld that developing fully-interactive holograms would be a "stretch," but researchers haven't ruled it out. Still, they're more likely to develop non-interactive images. Huomo says researchers "are trying to go for a truly immersive 3D hologram."

The portable machines will capture and send 3D snapshots of the surrounding world, helping accident investigators, teachers and doctors work remotely by instantly relaying realistic depictions of car damage, injuries, medical scans or educational aids. The powerful onboard processor on the Infosys machine would build a series of 2D shots taken, for example, from a digital camera, into 3D holograms using algorithms called 'Fourier' transformations to calculate the extra third dimension. The patent, granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office, says this allows complex 3D holographic images to be squeezed through the narrow pipes of existing communications networks, by sending only the unprocessed data to be translated into the 3D hologram at the other end. Infosys's device will be able to both send and receive these 3D images, displaying them using a projector with a laser source and micro holographic optical elements lenses.
