Small Town Boy

I found this short video about the how BYU is actually able to do volumetric imaging now -- super, super cool stuff. It is the next step beyond a hologram: like the image of Princess Leia that R2D2 displays.

Does anybody recognize the featured professor?

Susie might. Daniel Smalley was one of my favorite Sunday School students in Manti, Utah. We were friends. 

I helped him get his Space Exploration merit badge, and as we discussed things I asked him what he wanted to do for a living. He told me he wanted research holograms. He got a scholarship to MIT, and ... he is beyond holograms now.

Wow.
