unusual facts about Holography



Computer-generated holography

Ultimately, computer generated holography might serve all the roles of current computer generated imagery: holographic computer displays for a wide range of applications from CAD to gaming, holographic video and TV programs, automotive and communication applications (cell phone displays) and many more.

Emmett Leith

Emmett Norman Leith (March 12, 1927 in Detroit, Michigan – December 23, 2005 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) was a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan and, with Juris Upatnieks of the University of Michigan, the co-inventor of three-dimensional holography.

Holography Ltd.

In 2001 SE Holography received a license from the Security Service of Ukraine that permits the development, manufacture, implementation, import, export of holography-based security elements designed to meet government needs or custom-made for state authorities.

In spring 2010 the American Cancer Society and World Lung Foundation recognized Ukraine as a global leader in combating illegal trade in tobacco products, and the technologies of EDAPS Consortium, in particular, those of SE Holography - as the most efficient ones.

James Darren

In 1998, he achieved renewed popularity as a singer through his appearances on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the role of holographic crooner and advice-giver Vic Fontaine; many of his performances on the show were re-recorded for the album This One's from the Heart (1999).

Michele Oka Doner

Upon graduation in 1968, Oka Doner established a studio in downtown Ann Arbor behind the art gallery "Editions, Inc.," where physicist Lloyd Cross and sculptor Jerry Pethick were experimenting with holography.

Specular holography

In 2008, Brand demonstrated a distortion-free form of specular holography.

Trenticular

If the surface is rotated around the center or the viewer moves around the painting, a visual image transition can be seen which is similar to the transition in Lenticular Hologram.

In Lenticular Hologram the transition is achieved through microscopic prisms and is Only possible with specialized equipment's or printers whereas in Trenticular it uses macroscopic pyramids which enables it to be painted or printed without the help of any specialized equipment's.

X-ray fluorescence holography

X-ray Fluorescence Holography (XFH) is a relatively new technique that benefits greatly from the coherent high-power X-rays available from synchrotron sources, such as the Japanese SPring-8 facility.

Zebra Imaging

Its technology was based in-part on work done at the MIT Media Laboratory’s Spatial Imaging Group under the direction of the late holography pioneer, Prof. Stephen Benton.
