Constantly evolving technology does not surprise us. TVs, screens,
projectors are used to give us incredible results every day. 3D TVs were a
surprise, and manufacturers are struggling to make something new. Passing the
parameters does not make any impression on anyone, therefore companies want to
introduce something new. In Star Wars, the effect shown in the picture was
something incomprehensible and unattainable. Is that still the case?
As we all know, 3D TV technology has been a failure. Samsung believes that
the problem with the traditional three-dimensional image lies in glasses and a
limited number of points of view. The parallax effect that arises on such
screens causes the viewer to be tired because of the small difference between
the individual plans of the image.
Therefore, the idea of holograms returns. Is it possible to watch 3D
effects and even 5d without specialist glasses? YES! The presented technology
based on the Samsung patent is shown below in the image where, thanks to the
laser light sources and the camera tracking the user's eyes, a
three-dimensional image would appear in front of the TV, like a hologram. This
effect would not require the use of glasses, so the solution would be less
tiring for the eyes.
VR glasses are a very interesting solution. They allow you to see the
virtual world and create a vision of being part of it. Unfortunately, users
should not use VR glasses for a long time because they can damage their
eyesight or feel sick. VR glasses can be obtained using a smartphone, unfortunately
the image is poor quality. To get the glasses, the hd smartphone should have a 4K resolution. We
anticipate that in 2025 we will be able to use VR technology without the need
for glasses, or they will be much smaller and wireless.
You are probably wondering what a holographic TV will be and what the parameters will be. With such answers we have to pause until we create a working prototype.
It is not known when a holographic TV will be created. I hope we get the answer soon.
I encourage you to watch a short YT film. In the movie you will be able to see the history of projectors, and ideas how to display 3D images in the future.

VR technology is a very interesting solution that certainly provides an amazing experience. Unfortunately, the limitation is the computing power of graphics cards. To use Pimax you will need GTX 1080Ti or even 2 SLI connected.
Holographic displays for TVs? Yet another overpriced gimmick which will die like 3D-TV did.
Why so?
Okay, what was the last time you sat on your couch, turned on your 4KHDSMART3DTV, loaded "a legal copy for personal use" of a specially formatted bluray 3D movie, put on the NextGen 3dGlasses (polarized, not the shutter ones) and managed to watch the entire movie like this?
Never? Well guess what, you are among the great majority of people who own 3D-capable TV!
These "brilliant ideas" are bad by design, and Samsung can (and will) bring anything to prove their point, because they make money on those gadgets.
The truth is, nobody will watch holographic news, or walk through football players during a match, and when it comes to movies, people will use it, once, or twice if they invite their friends/family, to show off "a new SMART tv thingy daddy bought last weekend".
Holographic displays are good when it comes to public-space services or some mobile wearables (let it be the famous Omni-tool from mass effect series), not in our houses, where it will be another space-taking clank...
When it comes to VR/AR - AR is the way to go. It doesn't need cables, and it really AUGMENTS the current reality. Also its cost is lower than VR, because we don't have to render the whole scene, just fragments we are interested in. Besides - VR can't be true "Virtual" when you are handling two clanky components which pretend to be guns, or when you are sitting in the chair while running in the game.
For now, its just like it was with "HD"- does anyone still remember that "HD" refers for 720p? And FullHD stands for 1080p? How can a 1280x720 resolution be called "HD", when even some low-end smartphone has higher resolution nowadays? And so it is with the famous VR - its basically "moving 360 view", nothing more with "reality"...
Although I believe the VR/AR is the future and in few years it'd probably conquer most of homes, I'm not really fan of it. I had a chance to use it once or twice but it wasn't an experience I enjoyed. Maybe it's because it's too immersive for me and I prefer more "earthbound" feelings.
As for the holographic TV, I'm quite sceptical about it. I'd most probably be another quickly forgotten toy like 3D TVs.
Wireless Vr Headsets are closer than one might expect first wireless adapter is to be launched in late 2018 for HTC Vive wit this we would eliminate one of the 3 problems of current VR what's left is miniaturising and having it be easier to run(pc spec wise).
Or even better make an AR with two separate screens, one for each eye. Each screen could display a slightly shifted video to create the illusion of depth. We already see this in cinemas, with the passive 3D glasses.
I hope this technology will be better refined.
