In a small research laboratory at UT Southwestern Medical Center, a grainy, red movie of circling fighter jets emerges from a table-top black box, while nearby, a video of a rotating human heart hangs suspended in a tank of gooey gel.
These images - the first true, three-dimensional, holographic movies - are the brainchild of Dr. Harold "Skip" Garner, professor of biochemistry and internal medicine at UT Southwestern.
While such movies will not be coming soon to a theater near you, they have earned Dr. Garner and his "holographic television" a spot on Popular Science magazine's list of the top five "great ideas for the future," featured in the June 2005 issue.
