Populated by artists and computer scientists, a resident cat and sometimes a large black dog, the laboratory is exploring gee-whiz ideas ranging from talking computers to three-dimensional, holographic images that seemingly float in midair.
Sharp Electronics and Loughborough University are among many organisations working on three-dimensional television. One idea is to create an array of tiny holographic lenses in the photosensitive screen.
Glass's music is enormously popular these days and one assumes it is a larger attraction even than the story, symbolism and holographic scenery.
Vic Jipson, head of International Business Machines Corp.'s optical-storage laboratory, said he thinks that even the Microelectronics consortium's holographic approach needs a breakthrough in materials science to become really widespread.
Jerry Willenbring, manager of the optics program at the consortium, said the process uses holographic techniques to store a whole "page" of data at one time.
