REAL holograms are finally here! (And they look very cool)

Forget science fiction -- Silicon Valley start-up Light Field Lab has created a hologram so real that I could put my hand right through it.

It was definitely challenging capturing three dimensional light objects on a 2D screen (our shooter John had a FUN time with this one!), but I have to say it was very cool to see this tech in person! Biggest question: Where do you want to see this used?

Well as long as we're living in a cyberpunk dystopia, we should at least start getting the aesthetic going.

I’m always skeptical when they have a whole room and the demo is the size of a book

I would love a holographic aquarium. No species limitations, no maintenance, sounds awesome.

As someone unimpressed and spatial once said "I'll believe it when I see it!"

"I'm 6 inches into this box and all I'm feeling is air." Phrasing!

I'll be impressed when they show a 360 view of one of those, instead of a single angle demo.

Can't wait till I'm able to walk into an airport and see all my much wanted advertisements as a hologram.

I’m dying to see a cat go crazy over this 😂

Every step we take towards better holograms is a step closer to seeing real life Yu-Gi-Oh! One day, please.

The plant moving when the chameleon catches the fly really sells it :D

I studied holographics decades ago. I understand the basics. I too was inspired by Star Wars special effects.
I never expected the technology to mature to this level in my lifetime. I'm certainly going to keep an eye on this (pun intended). Thank you.

I wish you could take more angles on the hologram, there's only two points of view and don't trust this is 3D. I've been heartbroken with holograms news the last 20 years.

[PeterBenedetto]

This looks incredible. I can’t wait to see this in theme parks!

[rock-n-party]

Would be great to see history at the museum like this.

Imagine doing 3d modelling with this kind of output device on your desk.

[doubleheadedeagle]

I’d love to see dinosaurs in a museum being animated using this technology.

[jobuscuswafer]

So cool that we have this and transparent TV screens now.

[thejohnarnett]

From what I can gather seeing that it's only ever displayed in dark settings is that for now this probably looks faint/hazt in daylight because the technology isn't very bright yet. I hope this changes and we get to see this in our daily lives soon! 😁

[Baladashman]

Very exciting! I hope to see it in person!
