"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.,"
