Work
Done at MIT
The goal of our
Holovideo Research is to produce a real-time imaging system that can render and
display computer generated holograms at video rates. We currently have two
prototype displays in operation.
The Mark-I
display is capable of rendering full colour 25x25x25mm images with a 15 degree
view zone at rates around 20 frames per second. The Mark-II
display provides 150x75x150mm images with a 36 degree view zone at rates of
around 1 frame per second.
ongoing research has been examining methods of scaling up the display, reducing
the computation time, and minimizing the amount of information required to
transmit holographic images.
Sponsorship for this project has been provided by Honda Research and Development
Co., Ltd., NEC Corporation, IBM Corp., the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)
through the Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head, Maryland (under contract No.
N00174-91-C0117), and the Television of Tomorrow research consortium of the
Media Laboratory, MIT.
