When the Epcot Center at Disney World opened in Florida, it presented some very unique scientific demonstrations. One demonstration was a 3-dimensional hologram of a man jumping from one computer mainframe to another as he explained how things were controlled at Disney World. Recently the appearance of Gates at a conference in Kuala Lumpur in May presented some interesting possibilities in education. Imagine the efficiency of using a hologram of an instructor and beaming it to classrooms around the world.
Bill Gates Makes Special Appearance Via Holographic Tech
Bill Gates, chairman of software giant Microsoft Corp, made a special appearance via holographic technology at the 16th World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) 2008 here Monday.Holographic is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the recording medium as it was when recorded.The image produced changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way is if the object were still present. ..........
Gates said with more and more people participating in the knowledge economy, the result will be in the form of new innovations that make everyone's life more productive and more compelling."I'm very excited to see what this future will be bring," he said.Source: Bernama.com Date: 19/05/2008
