Revolutionary Light Technology Creates Erasable 3D Images
Researchers at Dartmouth and SMU develop a method to project and erase high-resolution 3D images within polymers, offering versatile applications in medicine and design.
- The technique uses a specialized light projector and a photosensitive chemical additive to imprint images inside polymers.
- Images can be erased with heat or light, making the polymer reusable for new projections.
- Potential applications include medical imaging, architectural planning, education, and art.
- The technology enables detailed 3D displays without the need for VR headsets or complex equipment.
- Future work aims to improve resolution, contrast, and refresh rates for broader use.
