Is it too late to rename these various stereoscopic systems to something other than 'holograms' ? Because they're not holograms. Holograms work by interference

Holograms work by interference and have the property that when cut into pieces each piece is a (dimmer and narrower FOV) copy of the whole.
Stereoscopic systems could be called 'stereograms' ?

- pavlov 9y agoAt least in the case of Microsoft Hololens, the name is somewhat justified because the display tech goes beyond stereoscopy and actually projects a light field using waveguides.
