Hologram Industry News

Timothy was presented with his prize by Jon Bentley of The Gadget Show. A schoolboy from Belfast has won a top design award for a hologram-operated portable music player. Timothy Quigg, 15, from Grosvenor Grammar School, won a laptop computer and specialist software for winning the Audi Design Foundation prize.
His OrbIt music player design saw off the challenge of efforts by more than 4,000 pupils from across the UK.
He says the technology his design would use “has already been developed or is theoretically possible” in the future.
Competition entrants were given six challenges including the design of a device that would solve environmental problems, a craft that can travel at extreme speed and a healthy snack that reflects the personality of your role model.
Timothy chose to think of a design for playing and accessing music that could actually become a reality in the near future.
His OrbIt music player - a futuristic, circular, hand-held device - is operated by a micro-holographic array of “virtual” buttons.
