A team of scientists, from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Hong Kong have developed an optical metasurface to create colour-selective 3D polarisation structures.

The Pepper’s Ghost optical illusion is produced by reflecting light off a semi-transparent surface and is often wrongly described as being holographic. A research group from Seoul is now redressing that mistake by using Denisyuk holography, alongside a Pepper’s ghost, to create an even more bewildering optical illusion.

Previously, Holography News® has reported on the differing approaches that companies are following to manufacture wearable virtual reality and augmented reality headsets as entry devices to access the Metaverse – the network creating a virtual 3D world.

At the opening of its new digital mastering and replication facility, Ceres Holographics and Covestro confirmed that the two companies have deepened their collaboration around Ceres’ HoloFlekt® films for automotive display solutions.
