 ===== About ===== ===== About =====
-Though [[technology:volumetric_display|volumetric displays]] are widely used throughout the [[location:kikyo_sector]], solid volumetrics are far less common, perhaps even rare. They are usually much bulkier than [[technology:volumetric_display|volumetric displays]], thus requiring large and complex projection devices in comparison to the highly-compact units capable of projecting the former; furthermore, solid volumetric projectors are extremely power-hungry - thus confining them to stationary emplacements that are hidden or blended into the background in order to avoid detracting from the aesthetics of whatever building or facility they're employed at. Solid volumetric systems are most commonly used to create solid photo-realistic objects for purposes such as user-AI interfaces or training systems.+Though [[technology:volumetric_display|volumetric displays]] are widely used throughout the [[places:kikyo_sector]], solid volumetrics are far less common, perhaps even rare.

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Volumetrics - often referred to as holography in the [[timeline:pre_ye_01|distant past]] - have been used extensively throughout the [[timeline:timeline|history]] of the [[location:kikyo_sector]]. As the technology was developed further, its fundamental principles remained relatively unchanged, though every so often new methods of achieving them would arise; eventually, however, volumetrics advanced to the next level when it was discovered how to make their projections tangible.+Volumetrics - often referred to as holography in the [[timeline:pre_ye_01|distant past]] - have been used extensively throughout the [[timeline:timeline|history]] of the [[places:kikyo_sector]].
