The Real 3D – Digital holography for 3D and 4D real-world objects' capture, processing, and display project is a research project funded under the Information and Communication Technologies theme of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, and brings together nine participants from academia and industry. This three-year project marks the beginning a long-term effort to facilitate the entry of a new technology (digital holography) into the three-dimensional capture and display markets.

Project duration 1.2.2008 through 31.1.2011.

NEWS & DIARY

9.6.2010 EPFL presents its Real 3D results at the XII International Conference on Laser Applications in Life Sciences 2010 (LALS-2010), Oulu, Finland.

5.6.2010 Google honours the 110th anniversary of Dennis Gabor's birth. Gabor, a Hungarian-British applied physicist, invented holography in London in 1948, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971.
31.5.2010 As part of the 3DTV Conference 2010, Tampere, Finland, Oulu gives a one-day set of invited lectures entitled "Aiming for real 3D: Digital holography for sensing, processing, and display of 3D real-world objects" at the summer school on 3D Media Technologies and User Experience. BIAS and Bilkent each present papers at the 3DTV Conference.
17.5.2010 INOA-CNR and Oulu each presents invited papers at the International Conference on Advanced Phase Measurement Methods in Optics and Imaging 2010 at Monte Verita, Locarno, Switzerland.
5.5.2010 The Real 3D year 2 review meeting takes place in Lausanne hosted by EPFL, with a technical presentation from each consortium member, and seven live demonstrations. These were of (i) a dual-wavelength reflection-mode digital holographic microscope with increased depth range, (ii) two-axis holographic tomography for microscopic specimens, (iii) infrared holographic detection and measurement of defects within silicon microstructures, (iv) a compact hologram sensing device for macroscopic 3D objects, (v) simultaenous stereo and motion parallax presentation of digital hologram reconstructions of real-world objects using a head-tracking conventional stereoscopic display, (vi) LCOS-based optoelectronic reconstruction of holograms of real-world 3D objects with simultaneous horizontal and vertical parallax, and (vii) real-time calculation of computer-generated hologram video and optoelectronic reconstruction using LCoS technology.
