Television and cinema screens that produce holographic images without the need for special glasses are being developed by computer giant Apple.

A recently granted patent reveals that Apple, the company behind the iPod and iPhone, has been working on a new type of display screen that produces three dimensional and even holographic images without the need for glasses.

The technology could be used to produce a new generation of televisions, computer monitors and cinema screens that would provide viewers with a more realistic experience.

The system relies upon a special screen that is dotted with tiny pixel-sized domes that deflect images taken from slightly different angles into the right and left eye of the viewer.

The films Endhiran & Muthu of Superstar Rajinikanth and Peepli Live of Aamir khan have been included in the curriculum of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A)
