Well if we invent a chip that we could put in our heads (Elon is already on it with Neuralink) and implemented an AR system within that we could have practical holograms. Although they wouldn’t technically be holograms. We will probably have this technology in a few decades.

Yes

@@joshbentley2307 Elon says he will but won't fulfill, plus who would want him to have access to your brain

@Riley Dwyer This. He's wacky, and his companies have done a lot for their fields, but Elon is still a detached billionaire who does not truly empathize with the middle class and below. If anything, I'm more of a Richard Branson guy because he actually helps the common folk once in a while. His casinos pay out. His hotels are affordable. He started Virgin Galactic long before Elon bought SpaceX. He's a lot like John McAfee, minus the whole druggie hedonist side.

@@joshbentley2307 That is called AR and already exists to a degree, like places in Japan having digital signs and waymarks you only see on your screen.

Tbf you could easily do that with augmented reality. In all honesty we probably have the technology to make some big stage surrounded with ar screens that show whatever information is being presented by the card reader. Easy to do not really. But I'm fairly certain we have everything needed for such a thing.

Yeah, they actually use augmented reality in Zexal, a later Yu-Gi-Oh series, and thats way more possible

@Thomas Grey yes but relaying data through air was a "physics" issue because you just couldnt do that with the tech they had back then. Sure you can explain that "its just using waves" but its more than that. "Device A can send a signal to Device B without direct connection or knowing the location of Device B, by sending waves through the air, but in a way that no other device can see the waves sent from Device A, unlike a ripple that would be felt by everyone in a pool the same". What I said sounds completely ridicilous if said in context of "yeah we can send morse codes through wires, which allows people to talk when in different places!"

@Thomas Grey there is literally a video of a photon being suspended in one spot .. and its only a start.. it will be done in the near future

Y’all are too optimistic. We’re reaching the plateau of energy, physics, and practical constraints in regards to technology. Some things will just be sci-fi and laughed off as zeerust like flying cars or personal jet pack use or ray guns.

They knew you could probably transmit over the air eventually, it's one of the revalations Tesla had. They had more mechinistic dreams for it but they knew about the basic idea. It's more like if they predicted DNA was a thing, and that we would be able to easily edit it at will however we want. That said, the fact is that something has to stop the light beam in the right place and you need a physical something you have good control over, and a very very very specific light source for each method. We CAN do that, just not in a gas cloud of nitrogen and oxygen. It's like wondering why the computers do their thinking with your wall circuits, it's just fully different. The dust method is wicked cool and is our best bet for that kind of thing.

r/rareinsults

Supposedly the Air Force is already experimenting with plasma-based weaponry at the Area 51 facility. They're devastating, but inaccurate, not energy efficient and prone to fatal malfunction for the device itself. Of course all of this could very well be a conspiracy fairy tale.

@@HarvestMoonHowl it's a laser based stuff that seems to really get the job done in that area of energy weaponry. But that's usually more anti-air stuff. And those rail guns are so accurate and can fire for so long they might as well be energy weapons since they hit so hard

Maybe, but the infrastructure isn't there yet. Think of Pokémon Go or the upcoming Witcher mobile game as the introduction. As devices get more advanced their display could evolve into what we know as AR

Brain Computer Interfaces babeyyyty

@@pcm1011 Hence the reason I said one day. We don’t have the infrastructure for that level of AR the same way we didn’t have cell phone towers back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Yeah, maybe.

Yes, and I think, there are moments where we are not wearing them. Like you do not always use a car for everything.

This is the dumbest fucking short story I ever read in school. I fucking hated it because it's just a really really fucking dumb analogy to various equality movements and communism without fucking understanding either. First off, movements like the disability access ones aren't fucking about making people worse to be "on our level", it's to make fucking living easier. Also communism isn't about equalizing people. The main quote Marx is known for is "Each according to his need. Each according to his ability". This is a naked admission of the lack of perfect equality under the various forms of socialism. Some people need more and some people have to give more as everyone is different. Thanks for reminding of the name of this short story cause it keeps coming to me as a memory and then I start thinking madly about it. I looked up when it was published and of course it was in the late-60s, so weird scare-mongering about the civil rights movement and Soviet communism. On my final note, I want to personally go to your house and hit you over the head with a rolled up newspaper as it makes a soft "plonk" noise for reminding me of something from middle school English class I thought was monumentally stupid

@MitchTheYoshi smoke and mirrors get the job done

@MitchTheYoshi I just watched far from home and it's similar but not really because what I meant wasn't projecting light onto air but literally attaching a really smal led to a really smal and quiet drone and then programming both the drone and the light to display a 3d image or video. If you look up "drone light show" you can see what I mean but then imagine it with hundreds or thousands of tiny little drones quietly flying around in a living room.

I think vapor/mist displays with multiple proyectors to get a somewhat tridimensional image are also possible: you would get the misty or cloudy look. We would probably need new physical principles that we currently ignore to get something beyond that. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_display

@@ZetaFuzzMachine It's maybe extremely difficult. The way I imagine it is having something like pixels... Or voxels in this case I guess. You would have arbitrarily small magnets which each correspond to ferromagnetic particles. You turn the magnet on and off to different strengths to move it farther up and down across the display. This way, you get both horizontal and vertical movement without making complex magnetic fields. But I don't know if this works. While it may, you would have to be really careful to not get interference between each individual magnet and ferromagnet pair. Most likely, this means using superconductors which is possible, but it creates a practical maximum resolution and isn't really feasible right now. And that's my nerd speech :)

There's just no reason to change it. It's one of those "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" things.

Keyboards work just fine as they are. Laser projections and touch panels don't let you feel where the actual keys are, and are uncomfortable because the keys don't move under your finger. Voice input is clunky and awkward, especially if there are multiple people around. I don't think the keyboard is going anywhere.

Of course all the senses would be solvable if we replaced the physical screen with a direct brain interface.

I thought the same thing initially. He's redefining the word so that some of these examples lay outside of his set of parameters. But he's actually correct within the context of the specific type of hologram he'd talking about. For now anyways.

Tbh if you tell the kid you that those are the holograms he'll get tin the future, he'll say those don't count too

Because those examples work differently than the way media portrays them. Throughout media it usually works like a projector except casting a 3D image. You should be able to put your hand through it which a volumetric display that we have irl wouldn't allow. AR like the Hololens probably fits the bill the best even if it technically isn't displaying in reality.

Maybe a better way to say it is "holograms are pretty cool, but they're NOT like in the movies". Also, the technology of actual holograms has been pretty stagnant since the 1980s or so. I remember when they were suddenly everywhere--since then they've been relegated mostly to cheap trinkets and anti-counterfeiting gadgets.

(I think the problem here is that holography got developed to a moderately high level as an *analog* technology, but the crazy development in communication and entertainment tech since then was all digital. Computer-generated holograms are possible and have been made, but the tech just hasn't gotten very far, and genuinely holographic real-time computer displays still seem to be impractical. All modern attempts to do a 3D or volumetric display use some other technology.)

I always thought of it as science-fantasy. When 'science' is used to explain what is essentially magic.

It's science fiction and fantasy. All George Lucas did was take fantasy tropes and place them in a sci fi setting. So it's both, Science Fiction and Fantasy.

It’s Dune fanfiction

By the time we could create nano-bot swarms, we no doubt could also charge such tiny devices with electromagnetic fields.

Does it depend on the air being dusty? I thought the air itself would be the medium, with the laser heating air molecules very rapidly to produce the image.

@@ccricers There's always dust particles in the air. Why do you think you have to swipe/mop the floors (aside from regular spillages) or clean furniture with a wet rag? Obviously density of those particles can vary from place to place, but it should be enough in most cases.
