3DIcon Corporation, a communications development company, today announced that it has engaged the University of Oklahoma to conduct a series of investigative studies to advance its pursuit of digital holographic technology. The program is expected to take six months. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Digital holography is a technology area that shows promise in three- dimensional imaging and visualization applications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current state-of-the-art research and development activities taking place in the field of digital holography, particularly emerging technologies. "This project begins a major chapter for 3DIcon," said CEO Martin Keating. "The University of Oklahoma is a creative and productive research and development institution. We're looking forward to our work together. It's an ideal combination."
