Valerie Thomas invented the illusion transmitter which would create the appearance of a 3D image resulting in the creation of 3D movies
Valerie LaVerne Thomas is a well-known scientist, mathematician, physicist, and inventor born on February 1, 1943 in Baltimore, Maryland. At a young age Thomas was interested in technology and she once checked out a book at the library called The Boy’s First Book On Electronics.
After graduating from high school, Thomas got her chance to explore her interests as a student at Morgan State University. She was one of only two women at the time at the school to major in physics. After graduating college she accepted a position as a data analyst/mathematician at NASA in 1964. Before she retired in 1995, the scholar would rise to associate chief of the Space Science Data Operations Office. She would later obtain a master’s degree in Engineering Administration from George Washington University (1985). Under the guidance of Fred T. Hofstetter, Thomas earned a University of Delaware Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership/ Ed Tech (2004).
In 1980, Dr. Thomas received the Illusion Transmitter patent that provides what is referred to as a holographic image, visible without needing special glasses. Thomas has been an important scientific pioneer who has inspired many, specifically Black women, to enter STEM fields
