Last week Pro-G covered the news that high resolution holographic displays, suitable for console and PC gaming, were being developed at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology.
Speaking to Pro-G, V. Michael Bove Jr., the scientist leading the project, explained how long we may have to wait before we can expect to buy our own holographic display: “If people insist on HD resolution and a meter diagonal screen, it might be 10 years or more. If they’re willing to accept something the size of a desktop monitor, it could be five to seven.“
Although holography and gaming have met before, previously the displays have been enormous, expensive and of rather poor quality, making them of no use for the home. However, Bove Jr. and his team are creating a high quality consumer-sized version that should retail at around $200, and take advantage of the advanced 3D models that are already part of most modern video games.
