Researchers at the University of Arizona have combined a photorefractive polymer that can be refreshed every 2 seconds with a system of cameras, computers and an Ethernet link to provide a holographic version of Skype—transmitting and displaying 3-D images over a network in near real time. Lead author Pierre-Alexandre Blanche and others in OSA Fellow Nasser Peyghambarian's team developed the system using a polymer from Nitto Denko Technical Corporation (Nature, doi: 10.1038/nature09521).
