Holographic television once seemed little more than a science-fiction concept. However, this is an area of technology in which there have been some terrific advancements. There have been many groups of scientists, engineers, and research teams that have worked on this technology over the last decade. Now, the possibility of holographic televisions becoming a reality is closer than ever According to Variety, the latest company to embark on the process of developing holographic displays that would eventually become holographic televisions is a startup called Light Field Lab This company has just undergone a Series A round of funding, which has led to them raising $28 million. The two leaders in this round of funding were Taiwan Capital and Bosch Venture. The money raised is a much-needed cash injection for the company to achieve its goal of creating holographic displays.
