- Right: Melvin Zammit’s prototype for a “real” 3D image display.
A young Maltese man chosen by Google over 10,000 other curious minds has returned to Malta loaded with advice from technology moguls and brimming with enthusiasm for innovation.
The concept could have infinite possible applications in the future
Last Monday, Melvin Zammit took his revolutionary three-dimensional display to the giant search engine’s offices after his keen interest in electronics won him a ticket to Google headquarters in California.
He was there as one of 15 finalists in the Google Science Fair, an annual global online competition that rewards “curious minds” aged between 13 and 18.
Mr Zammit, 18, represented Malta with an original system made up of multiple transparent images stacked in front of each other displaying a “real” 3D image.
