Holograms

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.
A robotic heart that combines soft artificial muscles with a patient's cells will eliminate the need for transplants within the decade, scientists vying for a £30 million research grant say.
Cancer remains the second largest cause of death in the United States after heart disease, and the American Cancer Society expects 1,806,590 new cancer cases in 2020.
EFSA has noted that coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the EU and a high intake of trans fats seriously increases the risk of heart disease, more than any other nutrient on a per calorie basis.
Nutritional benefits could have a profound impact on health, both in a reduction in foodborne illness and in conditions such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes that are estimated to cost the U.S. $1.7 trillion every year.
Diet-related stroke, cancer, diabetes and heart disease will cost the world more than $30 trillion.
The mental health system is struggling to cope with growing demand for services, and by 2020 mental ill health related problems will be second to heart disease as the leading contributor to the global burden of disease.
Public Health England said there will be more than 2.4 million new cases of disease attributable air pollution by 2035, with coronary heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and child asthma all having a strong association with air pollution.
Thousands of early deaths from cancer, heart disease, lung disease and diabetes could be avoided if obesity was stabilised or brought to an end by 2030, helping to attain the global sustainable development goals, research shows.
North America is expected to contribute to the largest share in the artificial heart market in the coming years, due to technological advancements as well as improved treatment of cardiac conditions in United States and Canada.
