Business Daily - Tricking the brain – are holograms the future?
Download Tricking the brain – are holograms the future?
The use of these endlessly flexible 3D images is increasing rapidly.
Not just in entertainment, but in medicine, education, design, defence and more.
Holograms trick the brain into seeing something in 3D when it’s really just a projection, allowing us to feel immersed in something – whether it’s an atom, or a cityscape.
We talk to companies developing this fast advancing technology and ask – will we be living in a holographic future?
Produced and presented by Matthew Kenyon
