Samsung Display is reportedly working on a secretive holographic display system known as MH1 or H1 which could incorporate visual beam steering, advanced eye tracking and patented algorithms.
Originally reported by @phonefuturist, the system would allegedly use a combination of a nano-structured holographic layer, eye tracking, and beam-steering technology to create a ‘glasses free’ 3D effect directly on the screen, allowing users to slightly move or tilt the screen to view objects from different angles, similar to Samsung’s existing 85-in spatial displays, creating the effect of looking around the image instead of just a flat image. This will allegedly create a sense of spatial depth that appears to float above the glass.
Full 4K resolution will reportedly be preserved during normal 2D use, with “advanced eye tracking” and “diffractive beam steering” reportedly aiming to address limitations caused by narrow viewing angles by directing light more precisely towards the viewer’s eyes.
The project is believed to be in its first stage of research and development, suggesting that commercialisation will not be a possible in the near future.
