What Comes After Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? Holographic Versatile Disc

It may sound like something that would be found on the Starship
Enterprise, but the Holographic Versatile Disc is apparently the next
(next) generation of optical storage.

A HVD disc could hold as much data as 200 standard DVDs (that's 1
Terrebyte) and transfer data 40 times faster.

The Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance has been formed to flesh out
standards for this new technology which is based on holography
breakthroughs from Japan's Optware, one of the six founders of the
consortium.

Optware describes on its website how holographic recording technology
records data on discs in the form of laser interference fringes.

Other members of the alliance include CMC Magnetics Corporation, Fuji
Photo Film, Nippon Paint Co. Ltd., Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd. and
TOAGOSEI CO., LTD.,

Why not skip HD and Blue-Ray and go straight to this?

Probably because the technology is not near ready for production.

Or at least wait for this format to be released at the consumer level and
let the market run its course before we start worrying about the next
format...

As you can tell, this has been in laboratory since conception for 10 years.
It will take a long while for it to become practical even now.

Because HD-DVD and Blue-Ray are pretty much ready, while the Holographic
Versatile Disc is not. If you wait for the next upcoming technology,
you'll never release anything. There's always something better being
developed.

The key phrase here is "flesh out." The porno industry must be
salivating at the prospects...

Question is... will it look like it is in 3D? )

Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance (HVDA) has been formed between Sony,
Warner, Universal, Pioneer and Philips utilising purple inference technology
with storage capacity of up to 1 TB

Homographic Ray Disc Alliance (HRDA) has been formed between Newline,
Matshuda, DIVx, Samsung and LG claiming that purple inference technology is
a rushed product and their Starboard interloper Technology can handle 2.2 TB
and 5 x the throughput of the HVDA product.

Personally I cant wait for this to occur. Imagine a universal player capable
of CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-A, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, Dual Disk, DivX, DVD-R,
DVD+R, RVR-RW, DVD+RW, WMA, MP3, MP4, OGG, XBox 3, PS4 complete with
Composite, S-Video, Component, DVI, HDMI, Optical, Co-ax, RJ45, 5.1, 5.1EX,
6.1ES 7.1, 10.2 DD, DTS, DTS-Lossless, MPL, PCM with on board decoders and
wireless all running under a cut down version on Longhorn in a 64 bit
environment. Imagine how good something about Mary would look then .....

All I want is an HD DVR with cablecard or DirectTV input and a built in HD-
