According to MIT Technology Review magazine, mobile 3D — that is, hologram-like 3-D and real-time 2D-to-3D conversion — is a top emerging technology in 2010.

Optics for Hire’s patent portfolio has multiple floating-image techniques (have you seen the patents page?), including those that are viable for mobile devices.

(Boston area) Great Science Events for Kids

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

From April 24 – May 2, 2010, the Cambridge Science Festival offers a variety of fun and educational things to do. The events are at various sites around town.

For example: Saturday Apr. 24, (12.00p – 4.00p) at the newly-renovated Cambridge Public Library, learn about optics with the “OPTICS SUITCASE.” Always a well-attended event, members of the New England Section of the Optical Society of America will demonstrate a giant kaleidoscope, the optics of polarization, and other fun things. OFH’s Gregg Favalora, a member of the NES-OSA, will be part of the optics volunteer group that morning.
