You can feel and hear these holograms

Scientists from the Interact Lab at the University of Sussex are using sound waves to generate sound-producing holograms you can touch.

What do you want to see made in to one of these holograms?

1920: we will have holograms in the future
2019: we actually have holograms

These guys are genius. Who could've thought sound waves and a small bead could produce stunning scan line holograms.

Edit: I'm 21, and I discovered this tech when I watched this video. Not everyone is exposed to every single thing in this world. No need to call me as boomer, you can politely correct me.

They had this technology two decades ago. “They” are ahead of the curve.

Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know how terrifying this is.

Here is the thing you have to remember, when there were dreams of space age/futuristic technologies sure they seem like magic, but time and time again it almost ALWAYS turns out to be something much more practical than you could imagine. Everything is at our finger tips, we just need to keep at it

This makes me really excited about the next decade

*Breathes in holodeck*

*Chokes on thousands of beads*

Would be cool to have a holographic piano you can actually play, along with almost any instrument

weird that we stopped hearing about it right before 2020 🤔

[justanotherguy]

Some of the coolest tech to come out of 2019 in my opinion.

[AJx]

And we don’t think they could be using this technology on a larger scale 🤔 Shape shifting craft, flying metallic crafts, etc

[WJen]

Imagine they optimized this tech and was able to make it as large as a warehouse? The gaming potential 😮

damn hatsune miku's boutta rlly step up her game

[TheJosiahTurner]

A bead can be levitated in the air, by sound. It can move so fast that it creates images
HOW AM I JUST NOW HEARING OF THIS

[tiddy]

GUYS WE’RE IN THE FUTURE EVERYONES BEEN DREAMING ABOUT

[Flatzee]

At least we know how bluebeam will be delivered
