Will Tamblyn is CXO and Co-founder of Voxon Photonics and inventor of advanced 3D volumetric display technology. The team at Voxon Photonics technology physically builds a model of a scene using millions of points of light. The result is a fully interactive digital “hologram” that can be viewed from any angle, without special glasses or headgear. A few years ago. the team realised that in order to build the ultimate volumetric graphics engine, it would need to do so from scratch. The engine needed to be supremely fast, and capable of real-time interactivity, with a frame rate at least 4 times faster than what they had achieved so far.
