Holograms are so bamboozling that the term often gets used colloquially to mean ‘fancy-looking 3D image’, but holograms are actually a very specific and interesting method for capturing light field scenes which have some real advantages over other methods of displaying 3D imagery.

Here is an update on my quest to stay on top of all things “holo:” HoloLamp and RealView “Live Holography.” According to the Wikipedia entry for computer-generated holography , one of the simpler algorithms to generate the required interference patterns, Fourier transform, is only able to create holograms of 2D images.

Road to VR

Our innovation on virtual experiences includes technologies that you’ve probably heard a bit about already, such as foveated rendering, varifocal optics, holography, and light fields. Unfortunately, that’s heavy, large, and expensive, and you can’t strap the equivalent of two SLR cameras to your head.
