Southern Hills Mall 1601 West 23rd Street Process could help develop 3-D television CHICAGO — A multicolored volleyball ball before your eyes. "There is a hole in the ball big enough for your fingers, and feel for the edge." The Associated Press But there is no edge There is no ball! The process is phoecography, (pronounced skoh-LAIF-graffe) leaf a combination of photography, hobby sculpture and computer graphics. There is only air and a remarkable three-dimensional illusion created through a process that leaprops laser technology and may fulfill some of holography's unkept promises. its inventors at the Illinois Institute of Technology and the University of Illinois at Chicago say phoedrogens are easier and cheaper to create than drugs that they developed as a factor that could hasten the most awaited advent of 3-D television. They say pholography's biggest advantage over bolography is the ease with which it can transform computer-generated images into 3D illusions. Most holograms are of physical objects. utilization Laboratory and a member of the group of artists and scientists that developed philography. "This thing can do impossible images." said Thomas DeFanti, a co-founder of UIC's Electronic Vis- For example, the phiscologram that resembled a blue, green, red and yellow volleyball was actually a computer-generated model of the polio virus. It is one of 47 phiscologs in the collection at the Mackay's Museum of Science and Industry. The exhibit, titled "Science in Depth," runs through Jan 13. Among the exhibit's most intriguing pieces are eight phoscilographic renderings of mathematical concepts. These are not numbers but bright abstract forms with titles like "Norton Fractal 1" and "Strange Attractor" that essentially are computer-generated maps of how certain systems of mathematical equations behave. "It's exciting to have a way for people to look at these visualizations," DeFanti said. He said that by looking at a 3-D visualization of an abstract concept, scientists could sometimes make sense that they would otherwise have missed. The museum's works also include 3-D architectural photos, visualizations of various molecules and cells, the evolution of a tumbling dice, human head and hands and an AIDS virus — meant to suggest the roles of hope and chance in finding a cure for the deadly disease. "We're marrying art, science and math," said sculptor Ellen Sandor, a leader in phsecography research since 1983. Three-dimensional imaging goes back to the early days of photography but got a big boost in the 1960s when lasers first were used to construct holograms. Some scientists predicted that holographic home entertainment centers would become common by the year 2000. Phiscolograms resemble holograms but have more in common with 3-D postcards. The cards work because they contain two or more different images, only one of which can be seen from any given angle. Because of the different positions of a person's eyes, each eye sees a slightly different image. The brain interprets this to give 3-D information. A phoscologram is like a transparent slide of a 3-D postcard containing 13 images that have been sliced and spliced on a computer screen into 8,000 extremely thin vertical columns. The slide is overlaid with a piece of opaque film called a barrier screen containing 8,000 corresponding slits. The piscologram is mounted over a light source that projects the image toward the viewer. Most of the piscologram is located at an angle where it are 20 inches high and 24 inches wide. DeFanti said the technology could easily be adapted to a computer display for still images. He also said it also could work for moving pictures, although conventional television picture tubes do not provide enough image resolution. The liquid crystal display, or LCD, technology of small televisions such as the Sony Watechan, offer more hope for 3-D television. Stephen A. Benton, a professor in media technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a recognized leader in bolography, said color and computer-generated holograms were in the works. He conceded that holography has not developed as rapidly as some experts had hoped in the late 1960s, but he said holography research ultimately will yield clearer, better 3-D images than photography. "We're more out on the long term research end of it," he said. "We don't think the slit or barrier screen can get us where we need to go." Daily Kansan Classified Ads Get Results! Yes We Make Loans!
