Holograms

• With the evolution of technologies such as 3D sensing, chips and algorithms, display technology, and means of communication, the AR investment track, which used to be hot in previous years, will regain its heat in 2020.
• 3D revenue display is expected to reach $22 billion by the end of this year.
• Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality could hit$ 150B revenue by 2020.
• Augmented reality will win over VR next year because it will arrive through mobile devices and without the need for additional hardware.
• Haptic interfaces, mixed reality and 3D interactive holographs will redraw the remote (and in office) work experience significantly throughout the coming decade.
• The market for virtual reality devices is expected to be 80 million devices per year by 2020.
• Mobile phones will not look like today's phone as flexible materials, holographic capabilities, projector embedded will revolutionise the mobile industry.
• The market size of China's holographic AR applied in Advertisement recorded revenue of RMB0.9 billion in 2016, and it is expected to increase at a CAGR of 71.8% from 2016 to 2020 and 78.9% from 2020 to 2025, reaching RMB143.9 billion ($20.9 million) by 2025.
• China's holographic AR market is expected to grow by nearly 3,700% between 2019 and 2025.
• The rising adoption of holographic displays for marketing in the retail sector will be one of the main factors fuelling its market growth.
• The market size of China's holographic AR applied in Entertainment recorded revenue of RMB0.6 billion in 2016, and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 83.5% from 2016 to 2020 and 92.8% from 2020 to 2025, reaching RMB180.0 billion ($260 million) by 2025.
• The global medical holography market is expected to grow at a rate of 32% CAGR during the forecasted period of 2017 to 2023.
• The application of holography in solar energy harvesting could be an area to watch in the coming years as holographic mass production technology gains traction.
• A holographic imaging process that generates 3D images using the microwave radiation of a Wi-Fi transmitter could be used in automated industrial facilities to track objects as they move through production.
• Microsoft will debut a new holographic user interface designed for users wearing Windows 10 VR headsets.
• The combination between holography and anamorphosis could give 3D-printed object an extra dimension.
• A recent project by Jaguar LandRover uses laser holographic techniques to project a range of information onto the windscreen.
• Cambridge researchers have developed a new type of head-up display for vehicles which is the first to use laser holographic techniques to project information such as speed, direction and navigation onto the windscreen so the driver doesn't have to take their eyes off the road.
• A holographic helpdesk will bring the world to life by adding key information not readily accessible in the physical world.
• Sense stimulation (e.g., traditional screens, Google Glass, paper computer screens, functional holographic projections, virtual reality masks, etc.) devices will be decoupled from computation.
• End users will carry a variety of wearable technologies enhanced with augmented reality (AR) and holographic displays that provide context specific assistance such as automatic language translation and voice-stress analysis.
• A pioneering Dutch surgeon is working in partnership with the British Heart Foundation to transplant a robotic heart in to the first person in 2028, but it is generally accepted that medical advancements in the coming years could mean it may be much sooner.
