UKstartupVividQ claims to have created the first-ever holograms with a retina resolution.
Theresult is amore natural viewing experience than ever before, the company said.
It now plans to deploy the tech in next-generationVRheadsets.
To create the holograms, the companyengineers light waves to render objects in 3D space.
The technique mirrors the way we see objects because they reflect light into our eyes.
In holography, software sets the light pathways.
VividQ projects the computer-generated images throughhigh-performance 4K display hardware.
Consequently, 3D holographic objects can be placed at any distance within a persons focal range.
Users can then naturally shift focus between the objects.

They could also solve some common problems for virtual reality.
In VR, users could adjust holograms to their eyesight without the need for bulky gear.
The two companies are now collaborating to commercialise the tech.
