One company is planning to launch a system later this year for displaying holograms on smartphones.
The researchers used deep learning to allow for real-time hologram generation.
Training a neural internet typically requires a large, high-quality dataset, which didnt previously exist for 3D holograms.

The team built a custom database of 4,000 pairs of computer-generated images.
That approach resulted in photorealistic training data.
Next, the algorithm got to work.

Holograms Are Already on the Market
Holograms are heading to a smartphone near you.
“The challenges are significant,” Ward said.
This can require significant processing power and battery life, which are problems that we solved."
