Holographic Video: Futuristic tech is
arriving faster than you think
Over the years we’ve seen video and CGI (Computer Generated
Imagery) develop new ways to experience entertainment and in the most recent
years something different emerged from a Coachella show, a musical performance
by a hologram of deceased rapper 2pac. Different from anything consumers have
ever experienced today, OTOY founder and CEO is revealing a new technology in
the way we watch video. Creating a look into a virtual world using holographic
strips connected to a grid to extend the scene volume, making every single
pixel look like hologram and opens up the ability to navigate through a scene
and look anywhere you want from any angle. Just like photo shop videos can be
manipulated to have objects removed or added, making the possibilities for
advancing this type of technology endless. The first application for OTOY's
tech are most likely going to start for gaming, architectural walk-throughs and
other situations that use CG worlds. It will also help develop movies without
complex conversions because this system would give live action directors the
ability to place the camera and choose focus and depth of field settings after
capturing a scene. This future technology could possibly be out in 2015 and
someday may get to the point where video screens replace windows, showing
holographic views of central park or other such scenes.
I remember watching Coachella live online and when the Tupac hologram was brought out my mind was blown. It would be awesome if we could bring back all of our favorite artists from the past in hologram form.
ReplyDeleteThis is what you see in movies, but one day will be part of everyday life. It is hard to wrap my mind around it. I can see some benefits in having this.
