The nextevolution of DLPtechnology for in-vehicle Head-Up Display (HUD) systems has been announced by Texas Instruments.The new DLP3030-Q1 chipset, along with supporting Evaluation Modules (EVMs), gives automakers and Tier-1 suppliers the ability to bring bright, dynamic Augmented Reality (AR) displays to windshields and place critical information within the driver's line of sight.

While we have been promised flying cars, living buildings and holographic displays, we may have to be content with 140 characters, Siri and Alexa for some time to come, suggests futurologist Professor William Webb in his latest book, ‘Our Digital Future’.

Holographic images of free-flowing air particles may help climate change and biological weapons watchdogs better monitor the atmosphere, according to a recent Kansas State University study.Principle investigator Matthew Berg, associate professor of physics, said the study, published in Nature's Scientific Reports, is key to understanding the aerosol composition of Earth's atmosphere.

Using a holographic production method allows for the use of a wide range of infrared materials which do not lend them self to the ruling production process. Aninterferometrically generated interference pattern is produced from monochromatic light and exposed onto the chosen substrate. Once developed, the resist has aregular sinusoidal profile that is vacuum aluminised at an oblique angle to create the array of parallel conductors.

A new system developed by UCLA researchers could make it easier and less expensive to diagnose chronic diseases, particularly in remote areas without expensive lab equipment.The technology uses extremely simple optical hardware and a lens-free microscope, as well as sophisticated algorithms that help reconstruct the images of tissue samples.

Wire grid polarisers can be used in order to polarise unpolarised molecular laserradiation, or to attenuate the emission of a polarised laser. LASER COMPONENTSoffers ruled wire grid polarisers on CaF2 andZnSe substrates, and holographicwire grid polarisers on CaF2,ZnSe, BaF2, KRS-5 and Ge substrates. This range ofavailable substrate materials collectively covers a wavelength region from 2.5 to 30microns, providing parts suitable for most common a...

The journal Astrobiology has published a special issue dedicated to the search for signs of life on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. Included is a paper from Caltech's Jay Nadeau and colleagues offering evidence that a technique called digital holographic microscopy, which uses lasers to record 3D images, may be our best bet for spotting extraterrestrial microbes.No probe since NASA's Viking program in the late 1970s has explicitly searched for extra...

Shortly after lasers were first developed in the 1960s, LiDAR—whose name originated as a combination of 'light' and 'radar'—capitalised on the newly unique precision they offered for measuring both time and distance. LiDAR quickly became the standard method for (3D) land surveys and is now used in a multitude of sensing applications, such as self-driving cars.

Geoff Turner of Design Rule, explains how Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to enhance product design as the technology becomes more affordable and accessible.

An Australian-Chinese research team has created the world's thinnest hologram, paving the way towards the integration of 3D holography into everyday electronics like smart phones, computers and TVs.Interactive 3D holograms are a staple of science fiction - from Star Wars to Avatar - but the challenge for scientists trying to turn them into reality is developing holograms that are thin enough to work with modern electronics.
