Microsoft Researches Holographic Near-Eye Displays

In this project, we explore how digital holography can be used to build novel near-eye displays for virtual and mixed (or augmented) reality.  We experiment with true, phase-only holograms in which the image is formed by the interference of laser light. We address some of the known limitations of digital holograms and demonstrate how holography can add powerful, new features to near-eye displays: per-pixel focus control, vision correction, and unpresented combinations of form factor and field of view.  See the technical paper and video for limitations, additional details, and a description of future work. Also see our blog post on the project.

Note that this Microsoft Research project is not necessarily indicative of any Microsoft product roadmap, but relates to basic research around holographic displays.

this stuff has been on my mind ever since google glass was announced. I seriously hope Microsoft or someone keep working on this and make it happen.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
