It's recording a couple different viewpoints simultaneously, one from each fly-eye lens (as the translation calls 'em).  That means that the reconstructed optical field has only a few discrete viewpoints -- enough to give a 3D effect with the holographic reconstruction, but it's not yet the complete optical wavefront from the object.<br>The poor clarity (especially noticeable with the text) is partly due to the tradeoff between number of viewpoints versus number of pixels per viewpoint and probably due to the fact that "3D" is in the defocused background... proving that it's 3D.<br>I'm also going to posit that the viewing angle is related to the size of the (SLM) LCD pixels, probably around 10 microns to give a 2 degree viewing angle for visible wavelengths.  As the pixels become smaller, the viewing angle increases slightly: at 2 microns, 7.5 degrees, and 15 degrees for 1 micron pixels.  Approximately.<br>Alright, it's time to head back to the lab.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Loomis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 8:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[lol..."special camera"<br><br>does it ride the short bus?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John H.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 5:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't make mine work.

Whenever I have heard of holograms in the past it was always talking about those stupid little things like they have on credit cards that appear "3d" or really, to have some depth. What I want to know is are these people here talking about being able to make a freespace, 3 dimensional projection? I'm talking straight, holy grail, r2d2 style. That is what I want. If not, then what the heck is this? People seem to be confused as to what these holograms are and now I am too. Is it, hey let's project a 3d image anywhere we want into free space, in the air, no screen at all whatsoever, or is it just some stupid, hey it looks like the image stands out at me! wow, i'm so amazed! So which is it, the holy grail, or something esle? Thanks]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[spacegravity4me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 7:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's just a, hey looks like the image is coming out at me.  It's an interesting process of combining two beams of light from different directions into one location so that new reflected light bounces off of the film slide (or sticker on your credit card) in the same way as it was first recorded and I recommend everyone go read up on it, but no, they're not talking about R2-D2.  At least, not yet.  (And, when they are, it will probably start with a 2 degree viewing angle.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G Scott J]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 1:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[another question for you guys, on CNN on election night they were freakin beaming ppl in and making 3d holograms of the white house and stuff like that.. is that stuff even possible? what kind of technology were they using there? <br><br>cheers]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZIG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 7:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Teleportation.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TubeTop100.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 7:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[It was all fake. <br><br>Not that they didn't do it, but that the people on the show weren't seeing what you saw, you saw what they added onto the video (holograms and stuff), they didn't see any of it, it was all added in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dude]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 7:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NICT researchers develop new method to make holography more practical]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/nict-researchers-develop-new-method-to-make-holography-more-prac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Check out this web site.  www.zebraimaging.com <br><br>They have full parallax hologram prints that stand up when a light is shown on them.
