  2. A hologram is a 3d shape that is produced by a radiation (lazer)

    A videoconference is like a conference amoung 2 people that transmit audio and video sygnals.

    A holograhic videoconference has more details and it is more advanced than the normal videoconference.

  14. Hologram is is three dimesional image
    (3-D)and a videoconference is a video where you can have a conference with onother person looking eachother.A Hologram had been inmproved becuase alot of people don't have to wear the
    3-D glases it has more technology thinking that are your eyes are 3-D.And the videoconference has been inproved because alot of people don't have to just talk in the phone they can also loginto the computer and see eachother and see what are they doing.

  15. 1)An example: of hologram is like wend your are watching a 3d movei you think the olect is come ing to you that the cined of programe
    2)An exapmle: is like 2 people talking trow a web come and some times like if is a true talking to each other.
    3)It have improved by in 3D movies and like the technology is going more and more stof like if there went going to us 3D glasses we are not going to us them no more that what i know.

  19. A Hologram is a 3-D image from a pattern.

    A Videoconfrince is a conference but the poeple are in different places of the world and its if your talking to them from close.

    A Videoconference has been improved that the information is being sent so fast that we might even be able to put is in games and movies so we wont have to use the 3-D glasses and it will not hurt our eyes.

  20. A hologram it makes a 3D shape that can make a person put it in a place that the real person is not there is the hologram makes a copy.

    A videoconference is a group of people that lising of the video or audio.

    A holographic videoconference it show them what can it do show it work well show 3D shape.

  26. Also adding on to my last comment about the article.
    Watching this video made me think about how much technology has developed and how far it has come. Also the hologram videoconference has become so advanced that when really videoconferencing with a person it will feel like you are in the room with them and really they can be 1000s of miles away.

  27. A hologram is a 3-D image it can be seen side and front. A videoconferenace is two people talking to eachother but you could see them in 3-D and you dont have to use the glasse. The videoconfereance has improved bacause you dont have to use the glasses and it new tech.

  28. Holograms are 3-D image that you can se 360 degrees around what is on the hologram.

    while a video confrence is people talking without them being near you or (to close.)

    and a holographic video confrence is both together where you can see them in 3-D and talk to them

  29. A hologram is two or more images that are 3-D that can been seen in dirrenent eyesightes. A videoconfrence is two peple talking at long distance but it looks like you could just grab them. Holographic videoconfrences are becoming better to a point where You will not need 3-D glasses it will just come out at you.

  30. A holographic videoconferencing is a 3-D image that refreshes every two seconds. people in arizona and california they've used it to send live images of a researcher.it will go up to 30 images per sec.

    The holographic videoconference is the meet between people where they can see a 3-D image of that person through a piece of glass with your eye's and nothing else.

  31. A hologram is a 3d picture reporduced from a pattern of interference. A videoconference is basicly you talking to someone in video chat. A videoconfrence has improved because then it was just a regular picture, but now they are trying to improve it by making the regular picture to a 3d picture, so its like you are there with it.

  68. Hello Mrs.Arcos
    In my own words a Hologram is a 3-D shape that is visible, it can be as if it is with you but it's not actually there.It is also related to a video conference.---p.s. Im not sure if this is a good explanation-I don't think so.

    A Video Conference is a Live Chat between two people having a conversation on the internet, while their at different places.

    how a holographic videoconference has been improved? A holographic videoconference has been improved by, for example: instead of the person video chatting online, the Hologram can actually be felt like if it's next to you. You can feel it.

    I think this is very useful because if they make our tv visions like this it can be better to watch. Whenever your at a Movie Theather you don't have to use 3-D glasses, instead you just watch it like it supposed to be. It is mostly improving it by making it a better vision.
    I wonder if our future scientists can make better things than this, what do you think about that? -----p.s., I don't think my comment makes sense.

    Sincerely,Arlette

  74. The first video hologram was showed at MIT's Media Lab in 1989.The hologram was only 25 cubic millimeters.I read that's like the size of a needle. I saw that there are special glasses that you need to have in order to see the movie in 3d. The crazy thing is though you can't touch it.

  77. 1) A hologram is a split coherent beam of radition that produces a 3-D image.
    2) A videoconference is a conversation between people in diffrent locations via audio and video signals.
    3) A holographic videoconference has improved greatly. Reasearchers have now found a way for it to be very useful by more than one person at a time. They have figured out how to refresh the images every two seconds making the image seem more realistic, however that does not mean that the quality of the image is great. The conflict that is currently undergoing some thought is the expense. They are trying to reduce the price of the optical components without decreasing the rate at which is refreshes.
