holographic memory chips and mobile devices

A holographic memory chip that can store as much as several gigabytes could compete with flash memory for many usages. It would be great for mobile devices like PDAs and smart phones. Future versions of smart phones may use holotechnology applied science for data storage and display projection. For memory, holographic data recording and playback can greatly grow the storage capacity of phones. For display, holographic projection can show images that are not constrained by the small size of a mobile device. The prospect of watching television on a mobile phone is a hot idea now, but who really wants to see television on a 2" screen? If one could project a full-size picture from one's cellphone onto a nearby wall, that would transform the use of cellphones for visual media. Focused holotech developments on Kuwer Industries .

Holographic science is the result of work on the configuration of light made by overlap between two intersecting light rays: a "signal" (or "object") ray that retrieves information that was recorded within photosensitive recordable media; and a "reference" ray. The three- dimensional picture created by this configuration of light is a "Hologram." Holotech applied science is a significant part of the general field of interferometric applied science.
