Recent developments in volumetric displays have made significant strides in creating realistic 3D holograms that can be interacted with physically. Researchers from Public University of Navarra have experimented with using elastic strips instead of traditional rigid diffusers, allowing users to touch and manipulate virtual objects safely. This innovation provides sensitive feedback, mimicking the sensation of resistance when engaging with digital content. The result is a more immersive experience that aligns with the popular perception of interactive holography often seen in sci-fi movies.
At the heart of this experiment are volumetric displays, which create the illusion of 3D objects floating in the air by projecting images onto a fast-moving diffuser.
A clever twist changes everything: instead of using a solid diffuser, the experiment swapped it for a set of elastic strips, each oscillating rapidly to form a surface for the images.
