For you 'technophiles', the following is a high level introduction on the current status and planned use of holographic technologies by industry as of 2017.
Holography
is the science and practice of making holograms which
are 2D or 3D images
formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other
coherent light source. Types
of holograms include:

Examples
of Hologram Functional Applications
Holographic
technologies are now being used in a various ways by industry. For
example, they are being used in authentication documents, for
packaging and promotional design purposes, in stationery, in-store
displays and décor, and in many other industrial applications such
as instrument display, lighting, architectural and interior design,
medical imaging, 3D visualization, mapping… The following are a
selection of recent articles on holographic technology in the
marketplace:
-
Engineers made a new hologram that's cheap and way easier for everyone to use - 2-D holograms are already being used on some foreign money, credit cards and official documents such as driver’s licenses. Researchers from the University of Utah have now developed an inexpensive way to create lower cost, full-color 2D and 3D holograms, so expect the use of holograms by businesses to increase.
-
A better way to make holograms for use in Art Museums - Holography uses include projecting 3D art displays in museums, enabling measurements to be made with great precision using a technique called holographic interferometry, and accurately assessing the three dimensions of packages for shipping companies.
-
Holographic Augmented Reality Medical System - RealView’s HOLOSCOPE-i™ powered by Intel RealSense™ technology has been ergonomically designed for use in clinical environments such as interventional cardiology suites, being the first commercial system allowing clinicians a true holographic experience, with full and direct control of the 3D images in real-time during the procedure.

Global 3D Hologram Projector Market 2017 – This report highlights some of the leading manufacturers in the Global 3D Hologram Projector Market 2017. They include: Hereholocube, Christie Digital Systems, Panasonic, 360BrandVision, Hologram Generator, Paradigm, Three D Holograms, SPIX, Virtual On, and Musion 3D.
Examples of Hologram
Technologies & Tools
The number of available
holographic technologies and tools are now proliferating much more
rapidly as many of these software tools have now been released to the
global ‘open source’ development community. The following are a
selection of recent articles on some of these new holographic
technologies:
-
Red Hydrogen: 'Holographic' Phone - Red Hydrogen is promising a revolutionary Android phone with supposedly revolutionary tech: a "holographic" display known as 4-View that not only provides a glasses-free 3D image, but also lets you look around and behind objects by displaying multiple perspectives on whatever you're watching.
-
HoloLens 2 will have a custom AI chip designed by Microsoft – Microsoft has announced that the next generation of its mixed reality HoloLens headset will incorporate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chip. The race to build AI processors for mobile devices is running alongside work to create specialized AI chips for servers. Intel, Nvidia, Google, Facebook, ARM, Qualcomm, Google, and Microsoft are all working on their own projects.
-
Mind Mapping in 3D with the HoloLens & Holo Mind - Mind mapping has been one tool that allowed someone to break down large problems into like components and help visualize the problems in different ways. Now thanks to Data Experts gmbh's Windows Store release Holo-Mind, we can do that in 3D on the HoloLens.
-
HoloToolkit's Expanded Spatial Mapping Capabilities on HoloLens - Microsoft has announced that the Spatial Understanding module in the HoloToolkit has been open-sourced. As a result, the new module now looks a great deal better.
-
Holographic Wi-Fi visually maps environments - Holographic Wi-Fi is a way to create three-dimensional images of spaces using radio waves. This new technology has tremendous potential for the military and for disaster recovery activities.
-
Turn Your Data into a Hologram with this New HoloLens App - The Visualization Experience app lets you prepare and present your CAD data for visualization in HoloLens. Users can view, manipulate and interrogate their 3D data, all controlled by the use of hand gestures and voice commands. The app is free to download
-
Microsoft holographic developer kits for cheap VR headsets - Windows 10 Creators Update will include a wealth of new 3D, virtual, and augmented reality capabilities. This will be used with a range of relatively cheap headsets. Facebook and others also have similar low cost or open source developer kits.
-
Make Apps for HoloLens in JavaScript with HoloJS – The open source HoloJS framework is designed to help in the creation of Universal Windows Platform applications using both JavaScript and WebGL.
The
marketplace for use of
holographic technology is
heating up, especially
now that many of the tools have been released to the innovative ‘open
source’ global community.
This will result in an
explosion of new ideas, software enhancements, and business
applications. So keep your eye on this very fertile area for future
growth! It will enter the mainstream over the next 5-10 years. Especially in the 'Arts & Entertainment' industry. Your best source of information on the holography industry
and marketplace is the International
Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA).
