3D video conferencing with holographic telepresence
An idea dear to classical science fiction could soon become a reality accessible to everybody. These incredible 3D holograms make Star Wars sci-fi tech a reality. Talking to people who are far away by looking at their clear 3D image in front of us is the new opportunity offered by the project called “Holographic telepresence” developed by the National Institute of Optics of the National Research Council (INO-CNR) and the company Quintetto of Pont-Saint-Martin, near Aosta, Italy.
Lightning over Ålesund, an exceptional electric storm
Because of the influence of small or absent land masses in the vast stretches of the ocean, lightning is notably less frequent here in Ålesund than over larger landforms. However there are exceptions. In fact, last night an incredible number of lightning and electrostatic discharges took place in Ålesund, almost like an electric storm! Here some photos of such an exceptional night.
