1 Holographic Disc = 20 Blue Ray or 100 DVDs

The Future is Now! Emerging Technologies

Man! Their already straight sh*tting on Blue Ray with this one. Can you imagine playing a video game or watching a movie on this? Wait till Ultra High Definition TVs comes out. It's gonna be crazy. The future is now people!:bigeyes: It makes me wonder about the advances in sound quality. I'll see if I can find that article with Dr. Dre in it.



Researchers at GE have successfully made a disc of the size of a DVD which can store up to 500 GB of data. Leaving the conventional methods aside these scientists have devised another way, using holographic means thus opening doors to new ways.


GE experts are using holographic techniques to store data in a 3D format rather than the conventional methods of storing data into layers. Conventionally, the data is written in the form of Ones or Zeroes embedded on the layers. The telegraph reads and writes data the same way like today’s discs do with data burnt and read using lasers. Lately mass storage has been possible using shorter and shorter wavelength lasers.

But this is something else. Abandoning the traditional ‘pits and groove’ method data is burnt in a holographic way that is 3D volumetric patterns using chemical methods. These discs are made of special polycarbonate materials and the material changes its chemical composition when bombarded by a certain type of laser. These discs are read by optical drives very similar to those for reading BluRay discs having special kind of laser. The company claims that these optical drives can be made compatible to read CDs , DVDs and BluRays.
People were dazzled with data storage capacity of DVDs when they were able to store whole seasons or epic series on one disc but this method is going to give you 200 times more space and for sure increasing your rack space 100 times….
The technology is further improving and it can be made to store a terabyte of data on one single disc. Combined with the revolutionary development in thumb drives i am sure we are going to have huge data space in whatever form we need either permanent or temporary…

i wonder how much 1 of those discs would run for when they first come out.

whats the most memory new computers hold nowadays?ihavent bought a new one since 2001 so im out of the loop...


hope that laser doesnt give people cancer or nothing...people are going to be going crazy for those lazer tvs.thats when ill cop some1s used lcd flatscreen for the low low
 
A year ago I think I was reading either popular science or scientific america. and they were talking about developing optical disc using microorganisms as 1 and 0s.
 
I'm convinced every advancement in technology is directly correlated to the need for more porn....

I should have held off buying my LCD three years ago. It's only a 42" but it came with an entire entertainment system. With taxes and warranty, it cost me about $3400. Now I can get something like that for about a grand.

This laser tv and holographic disc stuff is gonna be sick, as long as they put that extra storage space to good use.

there will be no problem putting said space to use.
HDMI 1.5 is on the horizon, meaning that PS3 games in the future will be in 3D (!!!). TRUE 3D.

Philips has developed WOWvx a couple of years ago - no more special glasses necessary for a true 3D experience - from all angles.

then there is Holovision, based on the work of a Hungarian noble prize winner:



then there is Vizoo's work (Cheoptic)



I find 3D more exciting than just some storage medium.

Intel showed it's first 1Teraflop processor.......two years ago.
the thing is, that thing has 80 cores and.......uses less energy than today's CPUs.
and that's all "normal" architecture.

once REAL quantum computers arrive (there are already MANY WORKING prototypes, but they still have just a small number of Qbits), everything will change.
the thing is, the problems are not hardware/theories-related anymore, rather SOFTWARE related.

new algorithms and programming languages have to be developed, before we will fully grasp the possibilities that are waiting for us "just around the corner".

we will see things in the next 10-15 years, which will seem to us like.......magic.:cheers:
