Conventional two-dimensional displays are approaching asymptotic limits in terms of visual quality improvement, especially with recent advances in resolution and dynamic range. Going forward, more substantial improvements to visual experience will be enabled by immersive displays which target additional visual cues not supported by conventional displays such as stereo, motion parallax and focal cues. Holographic displays are being developed which will address this, but present significant research challenges. In this talk, we introduce holographic displays and their fundamental challenges. We will review the challenges in content production in particular dealing with data requirements for content as well as production/synthesis of content along with its storage and transmission.
