 "There is no Sanctuary" exclaimed Logan Five to the City Interrogation Computer in the classic 1976 film "Logan's Run." In that sequence the audience glimpsed one of the first mainstream implementations of a hologram.
Today the hologram (or a more advanced iteration of the notion) has been developed in Munich Germany, by Metaio GmbH. The tag is "Augmented Reality" (AR) and it allows virtual 3D information to be superimposed seamlessly into the real environment at real-time. AR systems are a whole new kind of interface between the real world and the computer-generated 3D world of virtual reality.
"The implementations for this are astounding" says Daniel McMillan, owner and visionary of Cosmic Origins, a new Metaio US partner. "Today we are witness to science-fiction as fact, just as Jules Verne envisioned man on the moon, Metaio has virtually developed man in thin air."
