< Previous7 /9 2 /10 9 TRL /9 V OLUMETRIC DISPLAYS, which are in the Productisation Stage, is the field of research concerned with developing displays that are capable of displaying and projecting genuine 3D images that users can interact with. Recent breakthroughs in the field include the development of technologies like the Looking Glass as well as increasingly detailed volumetric displays that are able to project genuine 3D images into a space using everything from bubbles to lasers. DEFINITION Volumetric Displays are graphic display devices that form a visual representation of an object in three physical dimensions. EXAMPLE USE CASES Today we are using Volumetric Displays as rudimentary teaching aids. In the future the primary use case of the technology will be as a form of education and entertainment and they will increasingly be used to augment more traditional display systems as well as more advanced display systems such as Holodecks and holographic systems. FUTURE TRAJECTORY AND REPLACABILITY Over the next decade interest in the field will continue to accelerate, and interest and investment will continue to grow, primarily led by organisations in the Consumer Electronics sector, with support from univesity grants. In time we will see the technology mature to the point where the resolution, responsivness, and size of these systems will be good enough for consumer consumption, however these systems may very well have an unexpectedly short shelf life as other technologies with better utility come through. While Volumetric Displays are in the Productisation Stage, over the long term they will be enhanced by advances in Artificial Intelligence, Displays, Holodecks, Holograms, Laser Technology, and Sensors, and in time they will be replaced by Augmented Reality, Brain Machine Interfaces, Holodecks, Holograms and Virtual Reality. MATTHEW’S RECOMMENDATION In the short to medium term I suggest companies put the technology on their radars, explore the field, establish a point of view, experiment with it, and forecast out the potential implications of the technology. 15 SECOND SUMMARY Accessibility Affordability Competition Demonstration Desirability Investment Regulation Viability 3 4 7 7 6 5 2 8 1967 2004 2015 2018 2028 STATUS PRIMARY GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT AREAS IMPACT VOLUMETRIC DISPLAYS STARBURST APPEARANCES: ‘20 EXPLORE MORE.

As researchers and scientists increasingly prove that nothing is impossible, that yesterdays science fiction is simply the future generations status quo, and as we all continue to bear witness to an increasingly rapid rate of change that’s affecting and transforming every corner of global culture, industry, and society the future belongs to all of us equally, and we should never loose sight of that. As you race into your own future I wish you well, and never forget you have all the friends and support you need around you as we all voyage through time and space together on this fragile living spacecraft we call Earth.
