Holos​

You are here:
Home > Universe > Technology > Holos

Overview

A holo is a highly compact computer terminal, which usually combines a processing unit and an interactive holographic display. The technology is cheap and can be powered from almost any supply, so it is now ubiquitous throughout the Imperial Combine. Even primitive border worlds now use the technology. Holos might be mounted on a desk or wall, pocket-sized, or even wearable.

Virtually all Imperial devices — weapon systems, ships, even combat armour — also use inbuilt holographic computation cores. Quantum-level photonic processing and storage make the devices fast, reliable, and secure, and the technology is firmly entrenched throughout human civilisation.

The holo device itself is part physical, part electromagnetic field. The holographic display adapts to content, as well as user-defined customisation. It allows a large range of intuitive, volumetric gestures, which include the ability to 'flick' information from one holo to another, and direct manipulation of visually represented data.

Holos can be combined with personal links in a secure and encrypted fashion, which is the basis for several methods of identity authentication.
