Holographic technology refers to the methods and processes used to create and project three-dimensional images, known as holograms, utilizing light interference and diffraction. A hologram captures the light scattered from an object and records it in a way that allows for the reproduction of a three-dimensional image when illuminated by a coherent light source, such as a laser. Unlike traditional photography, which captures a two-dimensional representation, holography preserves the depth and spatial relationships of the original scene, allowing viewers to see different perspectives as they move around the hologram. This technology has applications in various fields, including data storage, security (holographic seals and ID cards), medicine (enhanced imaging techniques), and entertainment (3D displays and virtual reality). Holographic technology is characterized by its ability to provide a more immersive visual experience, pushing the boundaries of how we perceive and interact with visual information.
Swave Photonics, a trailblazer in the realm of holographic displays, has recently secured an impressive $28.27 million in Series A funding. This significant financial backing was co-led by imec.xpand and…
