Zeiss's "Holocam" turns glass windows into cameras

Re: Zeiss's "Holocam" turns glass windows into cameras
#12Having played with light fields and photography, I have questions. There has to be an imaging sensor somewhere. Where is it? I strongly suspect most of this "magic" will condense out of this cloud into a puddle of marketing sponsored bovine excrement.
It looks like it still requires a sensor, it can just be hidden in the frame of the glass.

#15The Zeiss site is a much better read:

In summary:
1) ZEISS unveils holographic Smart Glass at CES 2024, both for displays/projection/filtering, but also another component which is a holographic camera
2) The holocam works by utilizing coupling, decoupling, and light guiding elements to redirect incident light to a concealed sensor, eliminating the need for visible cutouts or installation spaces in visible areas.
3) ZEISS doesn’t plan to be manufacturer, so other companies can use the tech

#16Next someone will tell me they have a way to “ssh” into the universe and get process details on every entity in it including every human and what’s happening.
Kind of like in the matrix with The architect.

#19This is beyond even science fiction. I could have never imagined something like this was even possible - I still can’t. Is there a demo of this tech in action?

This year's theme is now holograms
and it's pretty funny that this is
is called a holocam, and it's pretty funny.
If you look at it right now, if you look at the spring right here.
you can see a little bit of blue
you can see a little bit of blue, which is actually
what is it?
it's actually acting as a camera, so
Now, if you listen to the explanation
what we call holography.
is that it's now reflecting light, so we can gather that light
and you can collect that light and act like a camera
like a camera, so for example, you can now
what?
the meat.
it can recognize the blue color
and only recognize the blue part.

holocam. It's quite
interesting.
