Holographic Communications Technology

Prof. Mahinda PATHEGAMA

A few science fiction movies show three-dimensional images of a person being presented in thin air. This kind of technology is known as a Hologram, though it is only being presented as mere science fiction and hasn’t been developed in the real world.

How will we be ale to make this imaginative technology real?

The word Hologram is derived from the Greek words holo which means ‘whole’ and ‘gram’ which means ‘message’. What this really means is that communication with this technology is perfect, just like ordinary face-to-face communication.

I will now present a novel concept of this perfect communication technology, namely a Holographic communication technique.

Say you need to talk to a friend who is in another country. Instead of taking a standard international phone call, or sending a text message, for example, imagine your entire 3D figure appearing in thin air in front of the person you need to talk to. You will be able to speak to them as if they’re literally standing in front of you!

This is the ultimate result which can be obtained by this new Hologram communication technology.

Science is always advancing to find yet-unknown processes in the universe. Scientists are always discovering more and more things that cannot be seen by our naked eye. Your everyday environment consists of various unseen frequencies. Some types of these have already been found to exist, and many more are yet to be discovered.

However many processes forced by these frequencies can be utilized to benefit our lifestyle. I have been working on finding useful ways in which these frequencies can be used.

Human vision has only evolved to benefit our need for survival. Therefore the only frequency we can sense is light, because it is naturally vital to us. In the modern world, communication over long distances has become very important. We now have the availability to use even what we cannot naturally sense for our benefit.

The great scientists Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein have made discoveries that have brought us ever closer to understanding the invisible energies that are all around us without our knowing.

While Newton’s Law of Gravity has been credited by nearly every type of physics, it is really down the road of Einstein’s Theory of relativity and Nuclear Physics (the safer side of course!) that I had chosen to base my research. It was during my study of this science that I revealed the way to make Holographic communication possible.

Recently, and as I had hoped, many of our next generation have great ambitions to become scientists. This is not just because of me, but by the popularisation of science throughout the country by you individually and as the media.

This new Hologram technology will further help to encourage younger generations to understand the importance of science and help build new possibilities in it. Hundreds of children have told me that they want to follow in my footpath to become scientists.

My every effort will further encourage that ambition. I am sure they have the intelligence in learning, but having strong ambitions such as this will boost youngsters’ creativity as well. I hope that you, as the media, would do more to promote this new Hologram technology to the public, and therefore, the younger generations.

My consideration really goes to combine three processes: brain cell activity and perceived psychological factors together with liquid processing factors by the heart.

In the human vision, if we simply consider the image processing steps in the brain; we know that the inverted reflected 2D figure on the retina initiates the retinal cell firing. The visual signal then travels towards the Visual Cortex of the Brain.

We know that it is not the actual figure on the retina that travels to the brain. The rods and cones on the retina respond to the light image and convert it to an impulse. You may have seen EEG graphs taken from some brain areas.

The activation process was explored by mathematical expression. It was studied in depth while furthering the research for development. We are provided with information to stimulate the process to experience the accuracy. This means we can create an artificial device that uses the same process.

An image with three-dimensional information can be captured by the artificial retina relevant to the physiology. The artificial cells ‘read’ this additional 3D information pixel by pixel, thus being ready to transmit. This signal is then sent using a standard frequency to a remote location for the purpose of communication.

The above explanation shows that the visual information process of the brain can be used as an artificial neural process to create a virtual image.

The most difficult task is to re-create a live 3D figure when the signal reaches the receiver. I have also succeeded in finding a way to do this. The 3D figure appears in front of the receiver after the additional 3D information is decoded to form each pixel of the figure with profile information.

The atoms in the air in front of the Hologram receiving device are then ionized by a certain frequency to block light corresponding to the 3D information and thus create a virtual solid, e.g. the three-dimensional image of the person wishing to communicate.

In this way people will be able to use this perfect Hologram communication, which resembles communicating with people very long distances away as if they are standing in front of you, gives future generations a much more natural type of communication.
