3D Television3DTV TVs - two separate
images and display them simultaneously
Send one image to your left eye and the other to your right
This makes it difficult for the eyes to focus
The image mixture appears as if it has depth

What is a Hologram? A 3D imaged formed by interference of light beams form a
laser or other light sourceOne is shined on the object one bypasses the object The two meet and interfere on a piece of holographic film Interference pattern etched onto a piece of holographic film. When a laser is shined back onto the holographic film, it
translates the interference pattern back into a 3D image

wok on the Mark II in 1989
Acusto-optic modulation (AOM); laser, transducer, transparent surface.
Sound waves stretch the transparent surface changing how the light passes though it.
expensive material, tellurium dioxide in crystal form
Daniel SmalleyBenton died in 2003 and
his assistant becomes head of research team
Uses a similar concept to AOM
Much smaller surface; chip the size of a microscope slide
