Overview

• The groundbreaking FlexiVol system uses elastic diffusers in a swept volumetric display, allowing users to physically interact with holograms for the first time.
• Developed by researchers at the Public University of Navarra, the innovation addresses safety concerns associated with rigid diffusers used in traditional holographic displays.
• Preliminary user tests demonstrate that hand-based manipulation of holograms is faster, more intuitive, and more accurate compared to traditional 3D mice.
• The research team, led by Dr. Elodie Bouzbib, plans to incorporate haptic feedback into future iterations to enhance the tactile experience.
• This early-stage technology has potential applications in fields such as education, museums, and collaborative environments, drawing inspiration from science fiction concepts.
