Guest ford hallam Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Morning All, It`s another miserable day here in the west country, think I`ll wear a loud shirt today to counter the gray. I recently came accross a little bit of technology news that I thought might ultimately have a major impact on the way we can present images of our work. It seems holograms may soon be within the reach of all of us. Hmm, that concept does appear somewhat paradoxical. Apparently Japanese researchers and developers are beavering away on prototypes of hologram projectors for home movie viewing. I imagine the technology to project a still 3d image would be somewhat more attainable than the whole movie experience. It will be interesting to see if the problem of holograms being somewhat ghost-like can be overcome. Can you imagine how useful it would be to send someone, via an e-mail attachment, a solid appearing, rotating 3D image.? Perhaps Clive may even be lured into presenting images of his work in this way. just a pleasant little thought to conjure with. regards, Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kelso Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Sounds pretty cool. Anything to see Clivey's work! Is there a link to see what they have so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Morning Jim, up early, probably the sound of those beavers that woke you, I`m not aware of any links as such, though I`ve not done a search on the web at all. But would`nt a hologram on a PC flat screen get us back to where we started? Regards, Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sanders Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 that's all a bit too much for me to get my head around at this hour of the morning. You Brits get a natural jump on mental accuity being farther east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 You Brits get a natural jump on mental accuity being farther east <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Morning Doug, I think you`ll find geographic location has nothing to do with it. regards, Ford ( smart ass smiley ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sanders Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I gave you that one as charity Doug (do-gooder smiley) Some Japanese folks also invented x-ray specs a few years back, but I haven't seen them catching on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DFogg Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was reading an article last night about an experiment being done with a particle accelerator where they melted a vacuum. This released a state called an instanton. Now apparently an instanton has been theorized to affect the spin of a quark causing it to gain mass. Melted a vacuum.......I am pondering this as I walk to the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hey Doug, I`ll have to remember to knock on your door when I start my collection for the "preservation of Ford fund" and I`m suprised at you, you mean to tell me you don`t have pair of those x-ray specs? Don, I`d be careful if I were you, reading stuff like that can seriously damage your health, after all just consider how many sane theoretical physisists you know. OK, so I don`t know any sane OR mad ones either cheers, Ford melting a vacuum? ( confuzzeled smiley ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kelso Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Don, I hope you made it to the shop.....and back, presumably, if you're reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DFogg Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 The plasma they created to do this feat was 300 million times hotter than the surface of the sun. Now that's tax dollars well spent. I heard Wal Mart will be selling the consumer version for $19.75 made in China, of course, and it runs on D cell batteries. Handy dandy quark spinner.

Guest ford hallam Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 i wonder if they`ll be needing fission chips to make all this happen. We`re renowned for them over here. Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
