5DDisc

The 5D optical disc was first demonstrated in 2013 and explored for data storage in subsequent years. In July 2025, Byron Warbrick proposed the 5D Disc as a conceptual format for storing movie data on 5D optical discs.

Early historyHistory

The 5D optical disc was first demonstrated in Southampton in 2013 by a group of university students. By 2015–2016, important documents and information were being stored using this new technology. In 2019, the "Superman crystal" was created, inspired by the Superman movie.

5D Disc

The 5D Disc is a conceptual movie format created by Byron Warbrick on July 6, 2025. He became the first person to define a movie concept for this technology that was explicitly outlined and credited to an individual in public documentation. He achieved this by producing a technical study log on the optical storage format and by creating a diagram illustrating the movie concept.

A Diagram Of The Movie Concept For 5D Optical Disc

This diagram for a movie storage concept was created by Byron Warbrick on July 6, 2025. It outlines a proposed approach for storing movie data on a 5D optical disc and documents the foundational elements of the concept. The idea may be subject to further research and development in the future.
