DESCRIPTION:Computer generated holograms have been a means of manipulating
  light for over 30 years\, however it is recent developments in liquid cry
 stal over silicon VLSI technology that has allowed them to become a commer
 cial reality.  In this presentation I will give an overview of how these h
 olograms work and activities at Cambridge in computer generated holography
  over the last 10 years\, including the recent commercial successes of hol
 ography for 2D and 3D projection display systems.  I will also be looking 
 into the future of this technology and the possible impact it may have on 
 the fundamental concept of images\, pixels and resolution.\n\nTim Wilkinso

 from Magdalene College Cambridge. He is currently a Reader in Photonic Eng
 ineering in the Engineering Department of Cambridge University\, member of
  the CMMPE group and a Fellow of Jesus College. He has been working in the
  field of photonics\, holographic technology\, devices and applications fo
