3. What is holography
Holography is a technique that allows the light scattered
from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed.
The technique to optically store, retrieve, and process
information.
Preserve the 3-D information of a holographed subject

4. Why
holographic
display
A high resolution three
dimensional recording of an
object
Glasses free 3D display
No need for projection screen
Life like images
Interactive display

6. Types of
Holograms
A. Reflex hologram
Illuminated by a spot of
white incandescent light
source, from front-above
The image consists of light
reflected by the hologram
Produces multicolour
holograms, makes images
optically indistinguishable
from the original objects

7. 7
B.Transmission hologram
Viewed with laser light, usually
of the same type used to make
the recording
Need light source behind them
Virtual image can be very sharp
and deep
C.Computer-generated holograms
No need for a real object
Interference pattern is
calculated digitally, using
algorithms
8. How
holograms
work
8
The time-varying light field of
a scene with all its physical
properties is to be recorded
and then regenerated.
Hence the working of
holography is divided into two
phases:
•Recording
•Reconstruction
9. Recording of
hologram Basic tools required to
make a hologram includes a
red lasers, lenses, beam
splitter, mirrors and
holographic film
Holograms are recorded in
darker environment

11. • Laser : Red lasers, usually helium-neon (HeNe) lasers, are
common in holography. These are coherent light source.
• Beam splitter: This is a device that uses mirrors and prisms to
split laser beam of light into two beams.
Object beam (directed onto the object) and
Reference beam (travels directly onto the recording
medium)
11
12. • Mirrors: These direct the beams of light to the correct
locations
• Holographic film: Holographic film can record light at a
very high resolution, which is necessary for creating a
hologram. It's a layer of light-sensitive compounds on a
transparent surface, like photographic film.
Eg: Silver Halide Emulsion
12
13. Process
When the two laser beams reach the recording medium,
their light waves intersect and interfere with each other. It
is this interference pattern that is imprinted on the
recording medium.

17. Capturing of
holographic
video
By replacing the
conventional holographic
plate with a digital
camera and an
optoelectronic 2D screen,
we can capture and
display holographic video.

18. Projection of
holographic
video
18
Video hologram is coded into
light modulators
These light modulators are
illuminated by coherent light
beam source, to project
video
20. Advances in
technology Touchable holograms
Tactile holographic display
with haptic feedback
Horizontal 360º view of a
image on table top
User interfacing
integrated displays
20
21. Applications
& Future scope
Educational applications
Marketing with 3D holographic
display
3D simulation displays for
scientific visualization
Improved virtual Reality and
augmented reality
Telepresence and video
conferencing
Entertainment displays
21
22. 22
Holographic checkpoint for
military, battlefield
simulations
Intense real gaming rooms
In future all displays like
televisions, mobile phone
displays, projector displays
will be replaced by
holographic displays
24. Conclusion Holographic Technology and
Spectral Imagining has
endless applications, as far
as the human mind can
imagine
In future, holographic
displays will be replacing all
present displays in all sizes,
from small phone screen to
large projectors
