the holographic television display was created by mit researcher michael bove in 2013. dr. bove used a microsoft kinect camera as a relatively effective way to capture subjects in a three-dimensional space. the image is then processed by a pc graphics card and replicated with a series of laser diodes. the produced image is fully 3-dimensional and can be viewed from all 360 degrees to gain spatial perspective. bove claims that this technology will be widespread by 2023, and that the technology will cost as much as today's ordinary consumer tv's.
