Yes, perhaps, 'perhaps' because I went to that site and the pictures of how it
works are blurry gifs -I even downloaded one, and enlarged it, and still could
make out only part of the text- so I do not understand the mechanism.
At one point they talk about 10cm disks (like a CD) but then show a much smaller
blue things...
They also admit the Inphase holographic system will be 1TB before they get to it I
think.
If indeed they can record 'inside' a piece of plastic or whatever then a lot of dust
and scratch problems would not exists, that would be nice.
Anyways I appreciate the link, worth to keep an eye on it.
