These remind me of the holography exhibit at the MIT Museum. If you haven't seen it before, I highly recommend it. For those of us whose main experience with holographic images are the little foil sticker on the backs of credit cards (and, increasingly, whose main experience with the world more than 50 miles from our homes is through a screen), it is mind-blowing. The detail and visceral dimensionality struck me profoundly; they look as if someone has cut out a piece of reality and copied it into another space, frozen in that instant forevermore.
(I recognize the irony of trying to illustrate this with a Youtube video, but nevertheless: https://youtu.be/LkpBYne7SlU?t=54 https://youtu.be/LkpBYne7SlU?t=54 ; I wish that the one with a man at his desk was viewable.)
This looks to have the same effect, in full color, and animate-able. Light field technology is truly amazing.
- Udik 6y agoCool, I have that 1984 issue of National Geographic with the hologram on the cover! (At 0:53 in the video). I was fascinated by it as a kid.
- MivLives 6y agoI don't believe that exhibit is still in the museum. It wasn't there when I was there in the fall. Still a fantastic museum to checkout.
