holographic technology and associative retrieval

Besides providing quicker access and greater capacity, holographic applied science opens up new means of information comparison and retrieval. Many present day data storage and retrieval systems need precise specification of data location in order to retrieve information and they process it in a serial manner. In contrast, holotechnology applied science allows exploring massive amounts of information a whole page at a time to contrast overall patterns and sameness of content. In the case of holographic applied science, the degree of similarity between a macro search pattern and data pages throughout an optical media depth can be measured absent individual comparison of separate data components. This is called "Associative Retrieval." Associative retrieval is more tolerant of lack of precision and fuzzy logic, and more closely related to human cognition, than traditional data recording and playback systems. The page on A storage system for all-optical nets discusses related technologies in holotechnology.

Holographic technology is starting to be used to increase the spectrum of communication from people to computers. Conventionally, the most common means of interaction from humans to computing systems has been touching through keypad, mouse, handle, or light pen. Holotech science increases the horizon of human-to-computer touch-based interaction. Machines with holotechnology technology can project holotechnology keyboard images in the air and register when human fingers cross with those images. This makes it possible for touch-based communication to escape the size constraints of a physical device. In the coming years, pocket size machines with holotechnology science may provide desk-top-size holotechnology keypads. Holographic applied science may also be used for the increasing field of motion recognition, allowing much more natural human-computer interaction. If the topic interests you, then see Virtual TVs .
