RealView Imaging Unveils Interactive Holographic Display System

RealView Imaging has developed an interactive 3D holographic system, initially for medical imaging applications that is remarkably similar to that used by Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies.

The world's first 3D holographic display and interface system, initially for medical imaging applications has been unveiled by RealView Imaging.

The system looks to be close to the science fiction version used by Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies.

The company has managed to invent and develop a system that can receive volumetric stream such as 3D Ultrasound or any other static or stream of volumes, convert it in real-time to interference patterns and project true holograms using these interference patterns.

In traditional holography an interference pattern is created by splitting a coherent beam of light projecting one part onto an object and the other part, called a reference beam, on to a sensitive film in a location such that it will absorb at least some of the light scattered from the object. Later the film is developed and when lighted with a similar reference beam it reconstructs the object in free space as a hologram.

The holograms that are projected are with high resolution and quality, they are with full color and can be viewed from a very wide angle. Moreover, the reconstructed holograms are within the user’s touching reach and remain in the same coordinates, independent of the viewer’s location.

This proprietary capability enables precise and direct interaction with and within the images by literally touching the holograms and manipulating them in real-time. As these are true holograms there is a very high level of realism thus the viewer can intuitively comprehend even unique and complex 3D structures/pathologies and additionally the interaction with the images is as intuitive as grabbing an apple or painting a statue as the image is optically real and within touching reach..
