Scientists have grounded in 3D hologram technology. It is now possible to interact by touching holograms.
3D Hologram Technology has taken another important step in the scientific world. A team from the University of Navarra made the first successful screening of touched 3D holograms in the world. This system allows users to physically interact with virtual light projections. This technology, which can be used in many areas from education to museums, sheds light on the interactive screens of the future.
New era in 3D hologram technology
The traditional 3D holograms were images reflected on a fixed and hard surface. However, when these surfaces were touched, the illusion was disrupted and the device could be damaged. Dr. Navarra University. The team led by Elodie Bouzbib developed an elastic surface to solve this problem. This new surface of flexible bands does not suffer when touched and allows users to manipulate the holograms with movements such as compression and rotation.
In the tests, most of the participants said that this method makes you feel much more natural and accurate than using 3D mouse. The image correction technology, which is added to maintain the correct appearance of images, also supports the user experience. This innovative technology can revolutionize not only for entertainment, but also in the fields of education and culture. For example, in classes, students can examine the molecules by touching them, or museum visitors can interact with the digital copies of historical monuments.
The research team continues to work to further improve this technology. “Flexivol: A Volumetric Display with an Elastic Diffuser to Enable Reach-Though Interaction” explains the technical details of this innovation. He also plans to exhibit his team findings at the CHI 2025 Conference in Japan this month.
This technology, which makes it possible to interact with 3D holograms, can be a part of our daily life in the future. Such innovations in education, art and technology continue to make our imagination come true.
