Conventional LCDs, or liquid crystal displays, are inefficient and manufacturing-intensive to produce. Only about 5 percent of their back-light travels through them and reaches our eyes. In a step toward more efficient, smaller and higher-definition display screens, a University of Michigan professor has developed a new type of color filter made of nano-thin sheets of… »

Augmented reality (AR) technologies, which superimpose information from computers on real fields of view in real time, began to be actually used in Japan. Furutani-sangyou Co Ltd (page available in Japanese) will test their Magical Mirror which does not use magic or even AR technologies in a precise sense. It takes an image of a… »

Most of current touch screen displays uses capacitive sensing, where the proximity of a finger disrupts the electrical connection between sensors in the screen. A competing approach, which uses embedded optical sensors to track the movement of the user’s fingers, is just now coming to market. The researchers at MIT’s Media Lab went a step… »

Since we’re currently not so close to mass production of hologram machines, the 3D television presents the next big thing or it is going to be a transition between television and the new generation of multimedia. Zero Creative, a company from Holland, keeps on spreading the application of their special “true” xyZ 3D display which… »
