Mail in the Digital Age

Royal Mail launched the first-ever integrated 3D campaign to demonstrate to advertisers and agencies the power of running combined direct mail and digital campaigns. Devised by Proximity London, ‘Mail in the Digital Age’ explains this effective combination in a mail shot to 3,000 advertisers containing anaglyph glasses and an invitation to watch the 3D film online.

Cheoptics360: the future of 3D video is here

Forget what you know about lenticular-based 3D displays, holograms, and even those "real" 3D image projectors being toyed around with in Japan.

An updatable holographic three-dimensional display

Nature 451, 694-698 (7 February 2008)

Holographic three-dimensional (3D) displays^1,² provide realistic images without the need for special eyewear, making them valuable tools for applications that require situational awareness, such as medical, industrial and military imaging. Currently commercially available holographic 3D displays³ use photopolymers that lack image-updating capability, resulting in restricted use and high cost.

Non-volatile holographic storage in doubly doped lithium niobate crystals

Nature 393, 665-668 (18 June 1998)
Photorefractive materials are being widely investigated for applications in holographic data storage¹. Inhomogeneous illumination of these materials with an optical interference pattern redistributes charge, builds up internal electric fields and so changes the refractive index.
