** To put it politly and succintly - jesus christ they really are pulling a massive scam - its no where near an actualy holographic tv system - either for viewing or transmitting / receive

If I could access what they have done - which thus they must be on the verge of commecialiation - would dump all of my research , designs and systems

** On a related factor - 1989 / 90 MoD - wanted the three dimensional aircraft position display - without paying the innovator - all soughts of antics

If they want that design - which would have to be exhumed - they can pay for it. They never got access to the design - the notes on the design far to abstract for them

Noted that 2008 the USAF have it as HUD for fighters ( holographic display ) - an dthen goes onto 2015 aS a commercially available sytem = now just what year is it that we in

Dr WHO and the TARDIS not in evidence

So finding what they have doen then to dump my designed sytem - Ref to ULU Gradsoc Newsletter Feb 1996

Bye for now H_Dave
