Published: October 2016

Acoustic holographic rendering in complete analogy with optical holography are useful for various applications, ranging from multi-focal lensing, multiplexed sensing and synthesizing three-dimensional complex sound fields. Conventional approaches rely on a large number of active transducers and phase shifting circuits. In this paper we show that by using passive metamaterials as subwavelength pixels, holographic rendering can be achieved without cumbersome circuitry and with only a single transducer, thus significantly reducing system complexity. Such metamaterial-based holograms can serve as versatile platforms for various advanced acoustic wave manipulation and signal modulation, leading to new possibilities in acoustic sensing, energy deposition and medical diagnostic imaging.

Article Synopsis
  • - Holographic displays are a new tech for augmented and virtual reality, offering realistic 3D visuals with improved depth perception by using fewer holographic pixels for higher efficiency.
  • - Current methods for creating images in holographic form are too slow, taking hundreds of milliseconds, which is not practical for real-time applications.
  • - This paper introduces a faster, non-iterative method using Perlin noise that improves rendering speed by over 600 times while maintaining image quality, making it suitable for interactive content in AR and VR.

We explore the implementation of dynamic behavior in holographic displays through the activation of static elementary holograms. This research takes place in an ambitious concept of near-eye display, free of any focusing optical system. We investigate the dynamic addressing of holographic elements with a size of about 27 µm, distributed on centimeter-size samples.

This paper presents a novel method for accelerating the computationally intensive process of point-based holography using consumer grade hardware. By leveraging the parallel processing capabilities of graphics processing units (GPUs) and implementing optimization techniques, the proposed method significantly reduces the time required to generate complex holograms. A comprehensive analysis - including benchmarks and comparative studies - demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of this approach.

Background: Normal cells express functional tumor suppressor WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), designated WWOXf. UV irradiation induces WWOXf cells to undergo bubbling cell death (BCD) - an event due to the accumulation of nuclear nitric oxide (NO) gas that forcefully pushes the nuclear and cell membranes to form one or two bubbles at room temperature (22 °C) and below. In contrast, when WWOX-deficient or -dysfunctional (WWOXd) cells are exposed to UV and/or cold shock, the cells undergo nuclear pop-out explosion death (POD).

A holographic telementoring system depicting surgical instrument movements for real-time guidance in open surgeries.

Comput Methods Programs Biomed

November 2024

Department of Surgery, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar. Electronic address:

Background And Objective: During open surgeries, telementoring serves as a valuable tool for transferring surgical knowledge from a specialist surgeon (mentor) to an operating surgeon (mentee). Depicting the intended movements of the surgical instruments over the operative field improves the understanding of the required tool-tissue interaction. The objective of this work is to develop a telementoring system tailored for open surgeries, enabling the mentor to remotely demonstrate the necessary motions of surgical instruments to the mentee.
