Holographic Disks (HVD)

[hellrizer]

I've never heard about this technology till now. Apperently, it can hold up to 500Mb and with a 300Mb transfer rate. Thats just the beginning. It is also told that it has the capacity to hold 6TB (terabytes) of data. Pretty impressive technology, but if only a company starts to make them, but only because its so damn expensive to make these types of disks. My money is on Sony to introduce this product to the public. Microsoft is probably going to stick with the 2Tb SD cards...

They've come up with a cheaper solution in Australia ;-)

Yeah, its pretty interesting how they put the data in the disk...

They need to start working on a holodeck.

Wow, 6TB? That's pretty awesome. With a read rate of 20MB/s, you could almost use a single disc as a hard drive.

I heard about this a week or two ago, it's amazing isn't it.

10 Terabytes in insane!

This will be the future of gaming and Ultra High Definition videos. The future is coming, but its not coming fast enough!!

[Helegad]

Ultra High-Def? Don't think so. I'll probably be interactive 3D movies where you project it in your living room and walk around the scene, viewing the movie from whatever angle you want.

That might sound cool, but it isn't. Maybe it could be for a certain genre, but i would not like that to replace the current style of movies. You know with directors and camera positions and all.

[hellrizer]

Holographic 3D? Thats too advanced and won't probably be seen for awhile. There only have been a few demos of holographic 3D. Here....



Right now, people are focusing on high definition videos and gaming. I don't see holographic 3D coming anytime soon. Maybe somewhere around 2019 or later, but on the bright side, 3D technology is really advanced now that we have TVs that produce theater quality 3D.

Unless you're going to be zooming in on some actor's pores or something, I don't think "Ultra High-Def" is going to make that much of a difference.

The have to milk the current format for as long as possible.

It won't make that much of a difference with movies and all that, but it will make a difference in high definition gaming. Its going to be awesome

You know there's nothing really revolutionary about that all it is a rapidly moving sheet of glass which your eyes can't keep up with so it looks like a true image as far as I know there's nothing that projects an image in oxygen.

[hellrizer]

Yeah, I know, but they are not going to release it to the public anytime soon. Also, I heard that you can create a holographic image by using air or something else like that. I don't think its true, but maybe you heard of something like that?
