👉 Researchers create holograms able to move in the air 😱

    Brigham Young University(BYU) Holography researcher's team used lasers to create the displays of science fiction, inspired by Star Wars and Star Trek.

    Researchers at BYU have been able to create hologram images that actually move in the open air. This breakthrough inspired them by displays seen in science fiction, and the scenes they created are described as "real", according to the lead researcher Dan Smalley. Dan notes that the scenes have nothing computer-generated about them, and the images are real and can be seen from any angle in that space. Already the team developed something called optical trap displays created by trapping a single particle in the air with a laser beam.

    The new research overcomes a limiting factor of the optical trap displays the team created previously. That limiting factor was that the technology lacked the ability to show virtual images, but the team has now simulated virtual images by using a time-varying perspective projection backdrop. To see more of the holography work prof. Dan is doing with his students check out his website:https://www.smalleyholography.org/

👉 Alert!! BGMI Ban?😕

    Current MLA of Arunachal Pradesh Ninong Ering last week asked Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to ban the relaunch of BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA.

    After the ban on PUBG last year, the developers of the game KRAFTON decide to roll out a separate version of the game only for India with a new avatar and a new game called BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA. However, Krafton's hopes of making a comeback may get crushed, as former and current MLA in India have started calling for a blanket ban on the game. On May 22 he wrote a letter to PM Modi requesting a ban on BGMI in that he clearly specifies that it will be "the relaunch of PUBG Mobile".

    

    And he also said that Krafton has employed workers from Tencent, a Chinese technology firm. He pointed out the Terms and conditions of the Google Play store listing of Battlegrounds Mobile India. If PM or MHA or Meity-ministers pay heed to the request then BGMI could find itself fishing in troubled waters.
