Touchable holograms
Touchable holograms
Most of us understand that a hologram is a projected three-dimensional image made up of beams of light. If you put your hand up to a hologram, it’ll pass straight through. Now, a team of Japansese researchers have devised a way to give a hologram a “surface” that you can feel when it touches your hand. The result are holograms that you can actually interact with using your hand, and can feel when you “touch” them.
The researchers, led by Professor Hiroyuki Shinoda of Tokyo University, have devised a projector that not only displays the hologram in open space, but also includes a pair of Nintendo Wii controllers that can sense motion and the position of your hand in the field where the hologram is being projected. That way the computer controlling the hologram knows where your hand is when you interact with it.

Re: Touchable holograms
Is this a precursor to Star Trek's holodeck technology?
