- Holograms are cool, but in media the things we see are really not holograms. That’s not the point of the video. Just a fun fact.

Imagine people from the future being like "this aged well"
Well if we invent a chip that we could put in our heads (Elon is already on it with Neuralink) and implemented an AR system within that we could have practical holograms.
Although they wouldn’t technically be holograms.
We will probably have this technology in a few decades.
Yes
@@joshbentley2307 Elon says he will but won't fulfill, plus who would want him to have access to your brain
@Riley Dwyer This. He's wacky, and his companies have done a lot for their fields, but Elon is still a detached billionaire who does not truly empathize with the middle class and below. If anything, I'm more of a Richard Branson guy because he actually helps the common folk once in a while. His casinos pay out. His hotels are affordable. He started Virgin Galactic long before Elon bought SpaceX. He's a lot like John McAfee, minus the whole druggie hedonist side.
@@joshbentley2307 That is called AR and already exists to a degree, like places in Japan having digital signs and waymarks you only see on your screen.
I'm disappointed I won't soon be able to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon to wipe out people's life points
Tbf you could easily do that with augmented reality.
In all honesty we probably have the technology to make some big stage surrounded with ar screens that show whatever information is being presented by the card reader.
Easy to do not really. But I'm fairly certain we have everything needed for such a thing.
Yeah, they actually use augmented reality in Zexal, a later Yu-Gi-Oh series, and thats way more possible
Hang in there, bud. I'm doing my best
You might be able to wipe out their eye points realistically tho
My celtic knight will have something to say about that! And now I move my flaming swordsman into attack position!
This guy sounds like he could voice a muppet
underrated comment
Lol, I didn’t notice until I read this
THANK YOU!
I was going to say the same thing
That's why I listen on 2x speed because holy hell is that slow af
I mean, a lot of technology is impossible until its not. Like how sending data needed to have wires and the prospect of "connecting devices in nearly zero delay across the world" would be laughably impossible in the past when we had the bulky room sized computers. Or even the idea of "yeah this building sized computer network but a billion times faster and make it palm sized, with full color display."
he doesn't say imposibble but we still have a long way before holographics enter the customer markets. same as computer they already got the wireless data transfer in 60s but now its common today almost 70 years later. so we can expect holographics volumetric display in 2060/2070.
@Thomas Grey yes but relaying data through air was a "physics" issue because you just couldnt do that with the tech they had back then.
Sure you can explain that "its just using waves" but its more than that.
"Device A can send a signal to Device B without direct connection or knowing the location of Device B, by sending waves through the air, but in a way that no other device can see the waves sent from Device A, unlike a ripple that would be felt by everyone in a pool the same".
What I said sounds completely ridicilous if said in context of "yeah we can send morse codes through wires, which allows people to talk when in different places!"
@Thomas Grey there is literally a video of a photon being suspended in one spot .. and its only a start.. it will be done in the near future
Y’all are too optimistic. We’re reaching the plateau of energy, physics, and practical constraints in regards to technology. Some things will just be sci-fi and laughed off as zeerust like flying cars or personal jet pack use or ray guns.
They knew you could probably transmit over the air eventually, it's one of the revalations Tesla had. They had more mechinistic dreams for it but they knew about the basic idea.
It's more like if they predicted DNA was a thing, and that we would be able to easily edit it at will however we want.
That said, the fact is that something has to stop the light beam in the right place and you need a physical something you have good control over, and a very very very specific light source for each method. We CAN do that, just not in a gas cloud of nitrogen and oxygen. It's like wondering why the computers do their thinking with your wall circuits, it's just fully different.
The dust method is wicked cool and is our best bet for that kind of thing.
Expectations are bound meet disappointment when the word hologram is thrown around so loosely by the media. "2Pac performing live as a hologram!" sounds way cooler than "2D video of 2Pac projected onto a translucent screen using an effect dating back to the 19th century called pepper's ghost".
No one builds impossible expectations like the media.
I disgree. "2Pac projected onto a translucent screen using an effect dating back to the 19th century called pepper's ghost" sounds much cooler to me.
"2pac's ghost, brought to you by Pepper's ghost" could've been a good headline
So all those Vocaloid concerts were a lie too?
This video kinda undersells "Pepper's Ghost". It doesn't project on thin air and you can't walk around it and see it from every angle, but for purposes of a stage show or amusement park ride it can be very effective!
It's not technically a "hologram" in the truest sense of the word but people wanting a decent illusion of a dead celebrity or animated character performing on a real stage alongside live performers got what they came for.

"Some of you might be asking, then: Why not just shoot a laser?"

Now cortana makes sense because nearly everyone in halo is wearing a helmet or has a chip in their head like captain Keyes that has augmented reality that helps them aim and stuff

@@donaldbaird7849 guess that nullifies my logic,
Maybe they just see a blue light and and hear her talk
The plasma based holograms(the butterfly one) have a lot of promise ..... But they are currently big loud and unsafe
Supposedly the Air Force is already experimenting with plasma-based weaponry at the Area 51 facility. They're devastating, but inaccurate, not energy efficient and prone to fatal malfunction for the device itself. Of course all of this could very well be a conspiracy fairy tale.
@@HarvestMoonHowl it's a laser based stuff that seems to really get the job done in that area of energy weaponry. But that's usually more anti-air stuff. And those rail guns are so accurate and can fire for so long they might as well be energy weapons since they hit so hard
@@dissonanceparadiddle Yeah, Israel has an excellent laser based anti-missile weapon system that I know of. Advanced rail guns could change the face of warfare: Who needs nukes when you can execute a surgical kinetic strike from the opposite hemisphere?
@@HarvestMoonHowl and then there's of course the satellite-based weapon system where they just drop a metal rod and let gravity and inertia do the rest of the work, absolutely terrifying
@@dissonanceparadiddle yea the fact that call of duty ghost has a relatively tame depiction compared to the actual devastation that the rods would create is terrifying
In my sci-fi novel that takes place in the 55th century, everyone has a biochip in their heads and shares a vast, networked AR space. They have practical use of holographic type displays and such, but it's being projected into their brains instead of the environment.

I think the "holograms" of Metal Gear Rising are one of my favorite forms, as they utilize AR displays and/or ferromagnetic technology via "lithium niobate crystals" to achieve the effect of a projected image/object in a 3D space while still having a some-what grainy, crude appearance due to the technology still being relatively new during the game's setting(keep in mind that Metal Gear Rising: takes place during 2018, which was the future at the time of the game's release, but is now the not-so distant past for us) and really only accessible to those who have a lot of money to afford it, such as governments, corporations, PMC's, etc. A lot of the stuff in Metal Gear Rising is really cool and interesting as it can be described within a science-fiction setting and still be logically sound, barring the absurdity of nanomachines of course.

@@darkolosus Huh, you're right!
I personally believe that one day AR will be as incorporated into our lives as smartphones have become. Seamlessly bridging the gap between the physical and non-physical worlds we’ve created.
Maybe, but the infrastructure isn't there yet. Think of Pokémon Go or the upcoming Witcher mobile game as the introduction. As devices get more advanced their display could evolve into what we know as AR
Brain Computer Interfaces babeyyyty
@@pcm1011 Hence the reason I said one day. We don’t have the infrastructure for that level of AR the same way we didn’t have cell phone towers back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. I believe AR and VR is that early on in its development that we most likely won’t even be alive to see it’s true potential.
Yeah, maybe.
Yes, and I think, there are moments where we are not wearing them. Like you do not always use a car for everything.
“Human Flight is impossible!” The New Yorker
I really like the idea used in the 2002 movie "The Time Machine" where Orlando Jones' character was a hologram that was projected onto a series of glass panels in the middle of the room. I noticed you never mentioned it in this video, but I was really wandering if that sort of technology might be possible someday.
That can only work against one viewer's eyes. See the scene from Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.

I imagine it a mix of Stalinist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany
@@thatgaming1940 nah it’s worse, they forcefully handicap their own citizens to make everyone “equal.” It all happened through amendments to the constitution
This is the dumbest fucking short story I ever read in school. I fucking hated it because it's just a really really fucking dumb analogy to various equality movements and communism without fucking understanding either. First off, movements like the disability access ones aren't fucking about making people worse to be "on our level", it's to make fucking living easier. Also communism isn't about equalizing people. The main quote Marx is known for is "Each according to his need. Each according to his ability". This is a naked admission of the lack of perfect equality under the various forms of socialism. Some people need more and some people have to give more as everyone is different. Thanks for reminding of the name of this short story cause it keeps coming to me as a memory and then I start thinking madly about it. I looked up when it was published and of course it was in the late-60s, so weird scare-mongering about the civil rights movement and Soviet communism.
On my final note, I want to personally go to your house and hit you over the head with a rolled up newspaper as it makes a soft "plonk" noise for reminding me of something from middle school English class I thought was monumentally stupid
We don't need holodecks when we have VR.
Yeah, eventually we will all have computers implanted into our brains so we won't even need extra hardware.

No not necessarily, you just have to alter them slightly and imagine them all wearing glasses. For Halo they have chips in thier brains, they don't count.
This guy sounds like he had 5 minutes to prepare for the video and now has to make a presentation about it
Another way to make something like a hologram is by using drones with lights on them and programming them to fly around(this is already a thing). However, the drones we have right now are way too big and way too loud to use as a good replacement for ordinary screens to put inside any room.
@MitchTheYoshi No idea my guy, I only know he's in spiderman far from home and I haven't seen the movie yet
@@NYLEVEN He uses drones to project fake monsters that he can then defeat
@@NYLEVEN he uses drones and litteral magic
@MitchTheYoshi smoke and mirrors get the job done
@MitchTheYoshi I just watched far from home and it's similar but not really because what I meant wasn't projecting light onto air but literally attaching a really smal led to a really smal and quiet drone and then programming both the drone and the light to display a 3d image or video. If you look up "drone light show" you can see what I mean but then imagine it with hundreds or thousands of tiny little drones quietly flying around in a living room.

All the ways I see free floating volumetric displays working mostly revolves around things like ferromagnets, where you are using massive particles rather than massless particles forming your display. Functionally, this can be identical. If you want the cool translucent look, that isn’t too hard. It’s even cooler because you can actually touch it!
I think vapor/mist displays with multiple proyectors to get a somewhat tridimensional image are also possible: you would get the misty or cloudy look.
We would probably need new physical principles that we currently ignore to get something beyond that.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_display
@@ZetaFuzzMachine It's maybe extremely difficult. The way I imagine it is having something like pixels... Or voxels in this case I guess. You would have arbitrarily small magnets which each correspond to ferromagnetic particles. You turn the magnet on and off to different strengths to move it farther up and down across the display. This way, you get both horizontal and vertical movement without making complex magnetic fields.
But I don't know if this works. While it may, you would have to be really careful to not get interference between each individual magnet and ferromagnet pair. Most likely, this means using superconductors which is possible, but it creates a practical maximum resolution and isn't really feasible right now.
And that's my nerd speech :)
@@Isometrix116 what if it malfunctions and stabs you like a T-3000?

This reminds me also of all of those "futuristic" ways of putting input in a computer (laser keyboard, voice control etc). I wouldn't be surprised if we'll still be using physical keyboards with actual buttons (or a derivative of that) to control our home quantum computers in a century from now.
I think of it like this: how long has the wheel been with us? Some forms of simple technology do not change much due to their utilitarian nature.
@@brendanlogue5665 couldn't say it any better
There's just no reason to change it. It's one of those "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" things.
Keyboards work just fine as they are. Laser projections and touch panels don't let you feel where the actual keys are, and are uncomfortable because the keys don't move under your finger. Voice input is clunky and awkward, especially if there are multiple people around.
I don't think the keyboard is going anywhere.

@@Litepaw I would pay actual money to see him review fursuits
Honestly, I'm ok with those kinds of displays only being available through the use of AR technology.
You'd be able to opt out of all that digital noise by simply taking off your goggles or whatever future device they use to access those technologies.
Agreed. I'd love to see stuff like that, but I'd also want to always be able to take the glasses off and "opt out".
The future device is going to be a chip in your head
@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 Highly doubt it. Much cheaper to mass produce and distribute headsets or other small devices than something that requires surgery.
@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 I think it's much more likely that we'll use headsets that will be closer to normal glasses
I kind of feel like it is a good safety precaution to keep holograms encased in glass anyway. Otherwise it could be weaponized, blurring the line between reality and fantasy, or simply obscuring peoples view. Besides, you can already do a lot of interesting things with augmented reality anyways, which ethically gates volumetric imagery: you can't be exposed to them without giving consent in the form of putting on glasses, lenses (or cybernetic eyes).

I'm cool with Holo Lens if it means i won't burn my retinas. Now we just gotta figure out how to create artificial stimulus (stuff like touch and taste).
Louis sussy baka
I dont think the other senses will get involved so easily, sadly. Ever heard of smell-o-vision? It flopped way, way back somewhere in the 20th century cant remember when, but I think it was actually pretty early.
@@Warvell1 The problem with past forms of smell-o-vision is that it's not artificial stimulus. The smell is real and has to be dispensed by a machine that you have to keep filled. I'm not 100% sure about smell but I know there's been modern progress on artificial taste. Of course all the senses would be solvable if we replaced the physical screen with a direct brain interface.
Let's focus on touch first
Id see if you can use electrical stimulus on the tongue. But it would require a tongue sleeve and a wire until batteries become advanced enough.
We do have holograms - sort of. It's an interesting phenomenon that occurs when you put an object inside two mirrored bowls (it's called a mirascope). What I would really like to see is what happens if you put a lens on top of a mirascope and if a mirascope could work with a volumetric display inside. If you could craft the lens to make a projection appear larger than the actual object and the output of the display would work, you could theoretically craft a (mostly) working hologram (Mirascopes are directional, unlike an actual hologram) and I suspect that you cannot put a lens over the mirascope without breaking the illusion, or at lease causing distortion.
Idea: we make a volumetric display on the super ball field that can pop out of the ground at half time then animate and project the entire ending of the band geeks episode
The idea of R2D2 supercooling a room to near absolute zero simultaneously freezing Obi-Wan and Luke while burning their retinas out just to display a hologram was a hilarious mental image
I liked the part where Marty, Luke and, Obi wan all had their eyes seared out and fucking died.

How did you manage to spend 8 minutes talking about holograms without once mentioning holodecks?
Does this mean I can’t watch whatever the hell that little holographic circus performance was in the Star Wars holiday special?
Yeah I realized that the much more realistic future is almost certainly going to be everyone wearing AR glasses (or contacts or bionics) and the holograms would be something seen through those. One of those virtual worlds overlaid on top of the real one that you access via your AR tech of choice, which is still a cool idea
4:40 - In the landmark cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, there's a character who uses hyper-realistic laser holograms like Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home. He usually uses them as illusions / distractions, but at one point, he uses them *offensively* to blind an attacker
I love your editing man, it’s so good
Star wars isn't sci-fi though, it's a space fantasy.
I always thought of it as science-fantasy. When 'science' is used to explain what is essentially magic.
It's science fiction and fantasy. All George Lucas did was take fantasy tropes and place them in a sci fi setting. So it's both, Science Fiction and Fantasy.
It’s Dune fanfiction
Y'know aside from augmented reality, I think the closest thing to holograms that we'd have in real life would probably be utility fog; little tiny robots the size of grains of sand floating in the air that can link up like Lego blocks to form solid objects or form a hologram-like image by swarming in a coordinated fashion to form a 3D image like pixels forming a 2D image on a digital display.
"holograms cant exist, these multiple examples of holograms dont count"
I thought the same thing initially. He's redefining the word so that some of these examples lay outside of his set of parameters. But he's actually correct within the context of the specific type of hologram he'd talking about. For now anyways.
Tbh if you tell the kid you that those are the holograms he'll get tin the future, he'll say those don't count too
Because those examples work differently than the way media portrays them.
Throughout media it usually works like a projector except casting a 3D image. You should be able to put your hand through it which a volumetric display that we have irl wouldn't allow.
AR like the Hololens probably fits the bill the best even if it technically isn't displaying in reality.
Maybe a better way to say it is "holograms are pretty cool, but they're NOT like in the movies".
Also, the technology of actual holograms has been pretty stagnant since the 1980s or so. I remember when they were suddenly everywhere--since then they've been relegated mostly to cheap trinkets and anti-counterfeiting gadgets.
(I think the problem here is that holography got developed to a moderately high level as an *analog* technology, but the crazy development in communication and entertainment tech since then was all digital. Computer-generated holograms are possible and have been made, but the tech just hasn't gotten very far, and genuinely holographic real-time computer displays still seem to be impractical. All modern attempts to do a 3D or volumetric display use some other technology.)
Remember
Never be the one getting quoted saying something was impossible when somebody does it
This is purely science fiction, but I feel like if there was some sort of energy that could trap/isolate/manipulate photons, you could probably create a sort of "interactive light" that can be programmed to any sort of configuration that can be touched/manipulated by hand, just like in the movies, without any of the mentioned negative side effects.
I remember in middle school there was some assembly about drunk driving etc. and they had 2 spotlights on opposite sides of the gym, one behind all the kids on the bleachers, and one next to the fat guy telling us that beer is bad. The 2 spotlights were angled directly at each other and at some points in the show, created holograms like cubes spinning around. Maybe it doesn't quite count because some viewing angles of that image would block out the spotlights, but from the oblong angle I saw it from, it really was a hologram, even if they used a lil fog machine and low light in the gym to make it more visible.
The military is looking into the Microsoft lens thing so the first people to use holograms will be the kids with 1.2 gpas
Dammit someone get me a Focus from Horizon Zero Dawn NOW
I'm playing that right now. Tech and magic are indistinguishable from one another eh?
I really wanted that hologram lol callback to how I discovered you in the 2000s prediction video. Good work
They're easily possible. We already have AR glasses, contacts can't be far behind. When they become ubiquitous, we'll have holograms everywhere
Holograms? More like Bore Ragnarok
It's cool to me that a local university is working on this.
really? because I found that terrifying, the potential uses for hologram technology will all be tyrannical in reality. Innovation is a military thing first, entertainment 2nd.
@@gottaproxy8826... okay. Obviously you're imagining the military using some Sci fi holograms, which would be very useful -
but there are hard physics resisting making something truly like our sci fi dreams.
I don't see the military using holograms any time soon.
Theoretically, an organized swarm of flying light emitting nanobots could look identical to a hologram.
A hologram is not just a 3D image. It is an interference pattern created by 2 beams of coherent light. Not all holograms are 3D.
The only way we may be able to "have" holograms soon, is that if someone invented special glasses to see certain things sorta like AR.
Other then that I'm not too sure
well yea that *is* literally AR
A university in Japan maneged to make a hologram like the ones we see in Sci-Fi, for some reason it didn't make breaking news unfortunately
Even with AR though there are VR mixed reality headsets that are affordable to the average middle class consumer that also do AR as well. Granted it isn't as good and also currently requires being tethered to a PC, but even on the consumer level the technology is there
Quest 2 can do basic AR and is fairly cheap and wireless.
"Even Apple jumping into it [AR] in a few years" well this aged like fine wine
What has never made sense to me is how Tony Stark and other characters are able to interact with holograms as if they’re in the real world.
Likely using nano technology to build physical holograms. Like the nanotechnology is made out of tiny screens and so doesn't really require manipulating light
Nanomachines son
I’m going to call this series “The Future is Impossible”.
frankly i personally think my lizards will be the ultimate replacement to this technology, they just go in your head and bite your brain so you imagine the hologram
One of the most interesting versions i have seen is through the use of a pressurized air space and water misting. The image created so far is limited to floating around an indoor water feature but it is an actual volumetric image. Not particularly practical but interesting.
The only way i see holograms like we see in movies happening is through th nanotechnology... Think of them as tiny tiny drones we can manipulate/instruct using *SOME* form of tech...
Nanotech drones have enormous potential.

Tilt5 has interesting augmented reality glasses in development. The lead engineer is Jeri Ellsworth who is responsible for a lot of tech underlying Vive. The main display method is via retro reflective foil that you put on the table, but a worn curved mirror accessory is also coming.
No flying cars, no mid-air holograms. I'll settle for self-driving cars and AR. They're better in some ways, anyway.
Ar glasses: 3 500 dollars
Me with my 50 dollars 2ds: pathetic
Here we go 😂
Good video. My career was in technology and it always amused me that movies represented holograms as disembodied light bodies, as if they were able to move and walk around as actual 3D images you can walk around and interact with (aside from touching the screen). I tried a couple of times to explain this to non-techies over the years (girlfriends, etc.) and got mostly blank stares or a look like the cat gives me when I explain I had to buy bargain cat food because the store was out of her fav. I've always wondered if we would ever get there with phase-shifted lasers working in normal atmosphere (where people could breath, walk around, etec) and other technology. Maybe some day.

Your the only person I know who talks like an idiot and genius at the same time (I think this is a compliment)
I would also include Mr Plinkett
anyone else seeing this after apple vision pro releases
I love that the description calls whimsu his new channel, when i found whimsu first, just funny to me idk
I imagine a sci-fi hologram using another piece of sci-fi tech: nanobots, which I remember hearing actually exist but I'm not sure. If they do exist, they're nowhere near advanced enough yet, but it's not hard to imagine a "projector" just dispensing a flying swarm of them to a designated area, before the nanobots light up as the display.
The batteries would suck even if they're firefly sized, but they could constantly fly in and out of the "projector." The hard part there would be fitting all of that coordination code on them, but maybe magnets could interface with the projector? I'll let a smart person figure that out
By the time we could create nano-bot swarms, we no doubt could also charge such tiny devices with electromagnetic fields.

kiroshi optics :D just have everyone replace their eyeballs with man made, better ones and hope they don't get hacked.
The closest we'll ever get to holograms are digital versions of whatever you need as long as you're wearing the proper headset. Maybe around the size of goggles of we can miniaturize it enough
I don't see it working for some form of contact lense like in some sci fi media but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I want a replica clone trooper helmet with AR glasses built in.
Doesn't matter. There is no advantage to the "real" holograms over them being generated through Augmented Reality. Hopefully we get sensible glasses soon.
Out of curiosity, what would be the purpose of either, in your opinion?
@@michaelbalfour3170 Being cool.
@@WaluigiPooper666 Ye but 3d was "cool", it disappeared quickly enough.
@@michaelbalfour3170 3D ar displays are useful since they can act as displays without the need of the real physical display. You can have signs, TVs, clocks, everything shown through AR without the need of real things. You can also project these holograms to create objects, lets say you are a car designer, having a manifestation of your work would be very helpful
@@JoshBlueMoon5 I wasn't talking about AR.

We're humanity, we'll find a way.
Top hologram was the Holo deck in Star Trek TNG. Of course it's fiction but I defy anyone to take it to a level beyond. They can be real just by telling the computer to turn off safety mode. Obvious plot device but we're talking the best holographic stuff you can imagine.
I always thought, how come they dont just use a powerful enough beam and phase cancellation to make a light saber?
Wow
AR honestly seems way cooler than holograms to me. Being able to alter the way you perceive the world around you with a settings menu like in a game would be absolutely life changing
