    This is our first step in providing the hologram machine itself to make your own holograms, rather than sending off to a service to make one for you. We think having this as a new …

    Yes, there are definite applications for Holographic Optical Elements in this area. We are hoping that access to a 3D Hologram Printer will make development in this area even more …

    Denisyuk is one of the fathers of holography (his hologram technique was one of the first to allow white-light viewable holograms, also called reflection holograms). Along with Gab…

    Yes, the idea is to make this hologram technology more accessible and affordable, so that it is something you can use on a regular basis, not just a one-off occasionally.

    Thanks! Will see how to highlight that better.

    Thanks! We really do want to do this the right way, and grow the hologram community long term. Let me know if you know anyone at Glowforge that could be a guide through the process…

    Sorry about that, it has been a crazy year, and things have fallen through the cracks occasionally. The holograms with our film do not form surface relief patterns, and would not w…

    I agree that holograms have a way of grabbing kids' imaginations! Perhaps you could get a 3D Hologram Printer as well and make your own hologram exhibit for the science museum. So …

    The Chicogo Museum was amazingly packed with holograms practically floor to ceiling. The telescope one is another one to remember, with the front poking out into the viewer's side …

    Definitely possible. Essentially, each hogel could contain unrelated information and almost serve as holographic data storage. Additionally, separate holograms could be tiled toget…

    Holographic Optical Elements certainly have potential for applications like this, and the 3D Hologram Printer could be a great tool for simple prototyping and quick iterative testi…

    Razors or blades? Our first approach is to make the hardware more accessible and affordable (a first for hologram technology like this). But hologram film is the primary consumable…

    The hologram film is laminated onto the glass for stability. The film itself is photosensitive and records the peaks and valleys of the interference pattern of the laser light.

    We currently have a 0.5x0.5mm resolution as a Kickstarter stretch goal. Where things like lenticulars do have fundamental limits concerning depth vs resolution based on diffraction…

    Yes, SLM. We use an LCD which is then focused to the hogel aperture with the object beam, where it meets the reference beam at the film to record the hologram for that hogel.

    I saw the article (it got a lot of attention talking about holograms), but I didn't see any actual holograms. I hope they get a 3D Hologram Printer so that they can actually output…

    And famous wizard cards! Now maybe you can make your own.

    That's the idea! Hologram technology has a lot of untapped potential, and is still in early stages of growth.

    These are reflection holograms. Also sometimes called white-light holograms because they can be viewed with a regular spot light, sunlight, or even a smartphone flashlight.

    The glass film plates keep the film stabilized for the hologram exposures, but it is possible to peel the film off after recording the holograms. Will work on seeing if we can get …

    The microscope hologram is a cool one! Could definitely do something like that with our 3D Hologram Printer. One of the other very memorable holograms out there is the Kiss, which …
