We can use projectors instead for both

illuminating and augmenting large-scale
holograms.

This quote illustrates how much this topic

really interests me about the topic that I
chose and how advanced technology is
getting.

Large-scale optical holograms require largescale display technology for augmentation

with interactive graphical elements.
Conventional LCD or CRT desktop displays
are not sufficient for this task.

This shows how the process requires large

scale displays and how difficult it really is.

Conventional flatbed scanners cannot

reconstruct depth information from large
holograms.

This is an example of how difficult it is to

create a hologram and that a flatbed scanner
can only create 2-D.

Since the cameras in the two-lens range

scanning system we used have a limited field
of view and the holographic content has to be
reconstructed from multiple perspectives, we
use multiple scans to capture different
horizontal angles.

It takes pictures from all views to create the

perfect hologram. It is very important to get
all perspectives.

The ability to digitally control the

reconstruction of a hologram allows a user to
integrate it seamlessly into common desktop
window systems.

This also shows how advanced the whole

system is and how soon it will be out to every
household so anyone can use it.

Holograms can be multiplexed: we can

optically store multiple recordings of different
information on the same film through several
exposure steps.

Holograms are very complex in the sense that

they can be divided into many ways,
symmetrically and asymmetrically.

The slices can be reconstructed

simultaneously and appear as semitransparent
in space, producing 3D volumetric images.

They can also be put back together which

shows how versatile the system is with
dealing with the parts.

Merging optical holograms with interactive

computer graphics could lead to new tools for
science, industry, and education.

This shows how advanced this process is

getting and how beneficial it will be for the
educational environment.

An entire collection of artifacts will fit into a

single album of holographic recordings, and
researchers can use a light box display such as
those that present x-rays for visualization and
interaction.

All of these holograms created can be put

together and visualized as one and also be
seen through all together like an x-ray.

In the automotive industry, complex

computer models of cars and components
often lack realism or dont support
interactivity. Instead of attempting to achieve
high visual quality and interactive frame rates
for the entire model, designers could
decompose the model into sets of interactive
and static elements.

This shows how broad the Hologram industry

is expanding all the way to the automotive
industry and shows how it can be shown
moving and being interactive with other parts
or being static.

Optical holograms can store a massive

amount of information on a thin holographic
film. This technology can record and
reconstruct a 3D scene with almost no loss in
quality.

Holograms are so advanced and can store so

much information and can playback a 3D
scene all in the same amount of quality.
