"This extension builds upon the previous two-stage work done in conjunction with 3DIcon, namely our 'Investigation of Emerging Digital Holography Technologies' and 'Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies,'" said Dr. Jim Sluss, Morris R. Pitman professor and director of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in OU's College of Engineering and principal investigator for the 3DIcon SRA. "During this third-phase research and development period we expect to make additional, significant progress in the development of 3D display technologies. The areas of concentration include work with both swept-volume and volumetric display technologies including the application of nanomaterials to create vibrant, real-time systems."

Pursuant to its sponsored research agreement with 3DIcon, the University of Oklahoma has already filed four provisional patent applications and one utility patent application.

Martin Keating, 3DIcon's CEO, stated, "Our relationship with OU is increasingly productive and exciting. The researchers have exceeded our expectations. The expanded scope of the research and associated funding to the University is indicative of the progress we are making in the nascent field of 3D communications, and it opens many possible marketing opportunities for the Company."
