Touchable holography

Published:03 August 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

Mid-air displays which project floating images in free space have been seen in SF movies for several decades [Rakkolainen 2007]. Recently, they are attracting a lot of attention as promising technologies in the field of digital signage and home TV, and many types of holographic displays are proposed and developed. You can see a virtual object as if it is really hovering in front of you. But that amazing experience is broken down the moment you reach for it, because you feel no sensation on your hand.
