Only in America does real life tend to emulate art. Since the Princess Leia character was magically projected in 3D during the original Star Wars film, people have wondered if such a technology might really be possible STREAMING HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGES A University of Arizona team says it has devised a system that can make a holographic display appear in another place and update it in near real-time. There appears to be huge potential. Imagine a very complicated surgical procedure – then with this system surgeons around the world could participate” We foresee many applications, for example in manufacturing,” said Professor Nasser Peyghambarian from Arizona’s College of Optical Sciences. “Car manufacturers or airplane manufacturers could look at holograms and design their systems in real time. They could look at 3D models and make changes as they go.” The system demonstrated this week is far from the finished product, but it gives a very strong hint of what might be achievable with further refinements. Let me explain how it works: Many different perspectives of the object or person are captured on a series of cameras arranged in a circle That information is simply sent across e net to conceivably be seen anywhere in the world A 3D holographic printing system receives the information and writes the images on toupdate screen. It updates a photosensitive polymer every two seconds; creating a changing hologram. No glasses are needed to see the images, merely some form of …

Eric Schmidt speaks at Bloomberg Headquarters on October 20, 2008 in New York City about the future of technology.
Take a journey to the year 2020!
Technology Prediction 2020 – a look into the future starting with the Robobees project launched at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied sciences in 2011 to the year 2020. What will the future look like? Music credits: “What a wonderful world” – Louis Armstrong
The accidental discovery of single atom elements by a Phoenix-area cotton farmer in the 1970s may have opened the door to limitless free energy, a cure for AIDS and cancer, longevity, faster-than-light speeds, anti-gravity and much more, perhaps even inter-dimensional and time travel. But this discovery may precipitated new policies and even war in a struggle to gain control over this new technology? And, while this discovery has been startling to modern science, it appears to be nothing new. As stated in Ecclesiastes 1:9 (New International), “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Today, several scholars have linked this amazing discovery to the mythology and legends of the far distant past, especially in ancient Mesopotamia today known as Iraq. Interest in this new technology grew rapidly and by 2003, some researchers were even claiming that the invasion of Iraq made have had more to do with this new discovery than with oil, weapons of mass destruction or regime change. This story of amazing new discoveries, their connection with narratives from the ancient past and the possible role all this plays in current world events is gaining more and more interest within the public. It appears as though these elemental secrets were lost centuries ago, though vestiges of this knowledge may have been passed down through the years by a series of secret societies. The current story began with David Hudson, a self …
