Hologram communication could become a reality - Tech & Science Daily podcast

Find out how hologram communication is now possible with a new innovation being demonstrated at CES 2024.

Dutch company Holoconnects has been showcasing its ‘Holobox’ at the convention in Las Vegas.

The Holobox has an 86-inch, transparent 4K LCD screen for a life-size and realistic-looking holographic projection. Because of the light behind the screen, it creates the illusion of a 3D projection or hologram.

Another product on display at CES is a robot writing service that can use artificial intelligence to write all those cards and personal notes you can’t be bothered to do.

The discovery of a gargantuan ring-shaped structure in outer space is challenging our understanding of the universe. Dubbed the Big Ring, the ultra-large structure is about 1.3 billion light-years in diameter with a circumference of about four billion light-years - and was found in the remote universe.

The findings appear to challenge the cosmological principle, which states that on a large scale, the universe should look roughly the same everywhere.

A study suggests that a new dinosaur species may be the closest known relative of Tyrannosaurus rex. The Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis is thought to have lived between 71 and 73 million years ago - some five to seven million years before T.rex.

And the rest

AI says our fingerprints may not be unique, eBay has to pay a $3 million fine over employees who harassed a couple, and the Met Office warns of a big freeze as Britain remains on flood alert.

Plus, a huge lost ancient city is found in the Amazon, and a Google Maps glitch tries to send multiple drivers down steps in Edinburgh.

Listen above, or wherever you find your podcasts.
