Until now, there have been some real limitations that kept 3-D from jumping out of our computer screens. First, display resolution for the imaging is 250,000 times that of HDTV, and second, data and processing requirements were in the range of several hundred peteflops of processor power. To give you an idea of how fast a petaflop is, consider that the worlds fastest supercomputer in Livermore, California operates at 360 trillion operations per second. A petaflop is 1 quadrillion operations per second.
SeeReal, a German company, has developed a new process that reduces pixel size to that of current HDTV and has lowered the need for real time processing. They previewed a prototype at the Society for International Display forum in California.
"Since the only alternative able to perfectly substitute natural viewing is holography, SeeReal has spent the last four years developing this approach that overcomes the obstacles that have historically prevented holography from mainstream displays. And today, we have the solution.", said SeeReal's chief scientific officer, Dr Armin Schwerdtner.
The company says the next step is to develop a final product for sale, and to find a partner for production.

Hello? Why the heck did Hairy McFisty post this? This has absolutely nothing to do with CDs, DVDs, storage mediums of any type, etc. This is vaporwear for display technology. No physical product produced. No connection to storage technologies. Nothing. How about next week you give us the press release from Timex talking about their newest 32-motions watch... or Wendy's coming out the 5-layer burger?

Always good to know rather than being in dark ignorance like dark tower. If you like burgers, dude go to (www.wendyburgers.com)
This site is kool, not only u get info concerning dvds/cds but also interesting news like "holography display"
Nice info chas0039

Guess you fail to see how you made my own point within your reply, Light. If I wanted to read about Wendy's burgers, I would go to a burger related site -- just as you suggested. It's a fairly assured guess that I do read through more technology aggregate sites than you, and do not choose to remain ignorant of current and future products. But, I look for those sort of things in appropriate locations. Want a comprehensive site for all kinds of new technologies, (and it's quite similar to this board) then go to www.cdrinfo.com . Or, choose any of the dozens of others that specifically discuss these types of technologies. Meanwhile, look at the top of this webpage -- it says "Digital storage community", and therefore should be limited to those themes. That's why there are reviews about burners, players, tape units, disc mediums, etc., but had you not noticed there aren't reviews of the latest and greatest laptops by Dell, the expensive gamer keyboards from Microsoft, or even (as I sarcastically suggested) watches or hamburgers. It's all about appropriateness of the news gathered into one location. You want 'kool' information? Does it need to be 'l8'? Dude! Learn to use the internet, and (like I do) hope that the specific sites stay on subject. I do not want to read the next news article and find out that cdfreaks is discussing which of the Democratic nominees supports abortions blah blah blah.

Honestly, I think the news article is appropriate since holographic displays will probably require holographic storage mediums to hold all the information. It may be a little off topic but since the news articles here have been scare lately, thats probably why this article was posted.

I was glad to read of it, and Holographic storage is often being talked about here. Progression in holographic displays is vaguely related.
Mmm.... burgers.
) why dont u look elsewhere and stop making sarcastic comments on others. At least this guy took the time to look and upload this information (n yea it is relevent to this site). If you want specific information use ur smartass brain, look in the review section not here.
For now why dont u just grab a burger (Just to make u stop talking shit) 
Cheers
