  • wow, why everything you do is so amazing and epic?!

  • @carmoldu Thanks. Just in the right places at the right times, doing the thins I enjoy. :)

  • Could u please tell about the working principle of holography? waiting ebin@asia.com

  • @ektair Certainly worth a video. I've shown how holograms are used in industry, the basics of how a hologram is produced in the lab, there really needs to be one that covers the working principles of holography. :)

  • the refference beem...thats all you need ha ha ha ...

  • @diamony123 Nope, You still need both the ref beam, and object beams in order to record a hologram. :)

  • This reminds me of the hatch videos on LOST. But without that China dude.

  • @supergsx Yeh, lol. The vhs vintage video and the delivery does sort of produce that effect. :)

  • Thanks for the video I've always wanted to try building a holography set up

  • @mkultra2300 You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it, and found the info useful. :)

  • that's pretty amazing. nice work, that must have set you back a few bucks for all that gear back in the day.

  • @g0sth4ck3d Thank you. It really did set me back quite a bit. The interesting thing of it all is, you can get the same 40 mW power in a diode laser for less than a hundred bucks. The laser seen here was about 6 K$. The rest of the gear still costs what it did back in the day though. ;)

  • @ThomasGrillo Hi, Ive been looking into the holographic universe theory and its got me here, its an interesting subject. I was wondering, are the digital holographic images they have in those glass boxes reflections of projections on the glass? Thanks.

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER Hello. Yes, the holograms are recorded on film, or emulsion which is applied to the glass, and exposed in the recording process. The image the holograms produce only appear to be either behind, or in front of the glass. Interestingly enough, when I attended the holo symposium in Chicago back in 1991, Dr. Jung mentioned that reflections in mirrors are technically holograms of a sort. ;)

  • @ThomasGrillo Cheers Thomas, very interesting...that being the case, i wonder if an image could be created within a gas cloud, maybe a metallic gas cloud, or one with metallic elements within it?

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER It might be possible. However, there might be some diffusion effect. One would need to use a three dimensional laser steering systme that would let a laser "draw" in 3-D, along the x, y, and z axial planes.

  • @ThomasGrillo As you may be able to tell from my comments, i have been looking at the universe or vacuum as a 6th state of matter, a Bose Einstein condensate etc that acts as a singular wave state separate from space and time, so as to hold an observable holographic representation of what we call reality I'm trying to think how information x, point of contact y(without space and time) and observation z(with space and time) could combine to create this effect.

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER Sounds like you're touching on something the writters of Star Trek called "sub-space". A fascinating subject indeed. ;)

  • @ThomasGrillo All this started when i was looking at other ways matter could gain mass at increased velocity from vacuum itself or the virtual particles. Even a hypothetical higgs field creating mass, gave rise to an external warp effect allowing perpetual propulsion when mass was squared back into the field with superconductors..riding the wave so to speak...evolving into a surrounding BEC state using evaporative cooling created by the superconductors themselves,dimensions and now this..Engage!

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER You can't change the mass of matter at varrying velocities, but you can change it's inertial charactoristics at different velocities. You can also change it's energy state. By the way, I remember that episode of Star Trek where they touched on the idea of riding a soliton wave to do warp drive instead of having to haul around bulky warp engines. Very cool concepts. :)

  • @ThomasGrillo It could be nothing more than an encoded mental projection, but who knows, its all good fun trying to work it out. :)

  • @bloodngutspatriot Thanks for the kind words. :)

  • I didn't know holograms was this old. when was this made?

  • @TheCrazz123 The video was shot back in the mid 90s. That's why it looks so fuzzy. :)

  • Wow, it's amazing that web cams now are better than several hundred dollar cam corders from a decade ago.

  • @thepsychicpebble Indeed. However, it's important to keep in mind this video was taken from a video tape which was recorded back in the mid 90s, so the tape had nearly oxidized by the time I found it at the time I posted this video. It looked a lot better at the time I first recorded it than it does today. Tape usually holds it's magnetic integrity for a couple of decades depending on how well it's stored.

  • @ThomasGrillo Of course. I just meant overall quality. Camera phones today have better quality than my dad's old 1990 sum camcorder. I think that's really interesting. If you also look at video game graphics today versus the N64 10 some years ago, it's the same thing. Vast improvement over a short time.

  • @thepsychicpebble Indeed. It amazes me how good even the cheapest cams these days are compared to back in the day. :) Just as an example, all of my latest vids were shot with Aiptek picket HD cameras. Their audio sucks, but the video is stunning. So, I do all my audio on seperate tracks, and sync up the tracks, at least til I can afford a camera with xlr inputs, and onboard mixing, ect. :)

  • @thepsychicpebble This is true. And this video was produced over a decade ago on one of those old cameras LOL. ;)

  • @thepsychicpebble and i still bitch aboutthe quality :)

  • The last time I saw an actual hologram in a film was when I watched Logan's Run with some friends a month ago. I actually don't remember any other films that used holograms.

  • @chipmunx Logan's Run used holograms heavily because they were still sort of new at that time in the 70s. Star Trek, the original series used a lot of 2D holographic designer sheet for a lot of it's props back in the 60s. Star Trek Next Generation used a hologram for a borg's eyepiece. Most notably, in the episode "I Borg". Star Trek Motion Picture used a difraction lens for part of the warp effect. Buck Rogers in 25th Century used holograms on coin props in one episode.

  • @ThomasGrillo The only series I watched a lot of in that list was Star Trek TNG, explains why I don't remember much. Thanks, I'm going to take another look at the Borg eyepiece, for some reason I kept thinking they just used laser pointers for them.

  • @chipmunx STNG did indeed use laser pointers for part of the head gear on the borg. However, each borg had it's own eye gear type. One charactor, Hugh, had the eyepiece that consisted of a hologram. Not many (that I recall) of the other borg had them. You get to see it again in the episode, Data Lore.

  • @ThomasGrillo no one knows wat the 25th century will be like but i say it be super kick-ass!! and super incredible

  • @mquiroz90 Will be, if we get rid of the nukes, hate, hunger, greed, poloution, sickness, and start using solar, wind, geothermal, and perfect both fission, and fusian reactors, as well as spaceflight. Then, it'll be a wonderful future. Maybe. If...

  • what do you think about the Japanese having colored moving holograms??? hopefully it comes here soon they're awesome.

  • @dnamick17 Actually, several other companies around the world, including th U.S. have been producing full motion, full color holograms for at least the last decade and a half. You only need to consult the back issues of Hologram Marketplace at Ross Books on the web to see the evidence of this.

  • @soPPaz2358 Not strange at all. Agfa Gevardt, the company which used to make red sensitive 8E75 film / plates for holography discontinued that line in the mid 90s. Although they continue to make green / blue sensitive films / plates, at the time, green or blue lasers were extremely expensive. This knocked many holographers, and schools right out of the market. Fortunately, Russian red sensitive plates / films are available now. Holokits can be found at Intergraph on the web.

  • could you do this with a persons face, or is there a danger, ie eyes must be closed due to lazer ?

  • @boy1da76 Holography of living subjects requires the use of pulsed lasers which can cause blindness unless the subject wears special glasses to protect the eyes.

    An alternative is to film the subject with conventional movie film or video cameras, and make holograms from the film or vide. The latter is much safer. See Holography Handbook at Rossbooks on the web for details on these methods.

  • I like this. I could almost smell the photo chemicals.

  • @BigTex541 Glad you enjoyed it. Actually, the chems I used did not have much oder, fortunately, but I've used some chems for conventional holography that just smelled aweful. Rapid fixer comes to mind. :)

  • @ThomasGrillo

    oh that brings back memories

  • Is it passable to program a frequency into a hologram? There is a mojo bracelet that claims they did just that. Is it possible?

  • @GalacticPredictions P. T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute.".

    Buyer beware. Claims like that really tick me off.

    It's sad that there are people who take unfair advantage of others' ignorance.

    No, it's not possible to do that.

  • "at the same time this is happening we are spliting off the beam...here...which we use as our reference beam...clean it with a spatial filter, & it goes directly to the plate at the same time as the reference beam, right over h *ZZSSLICE-ZAPP*....whoops it would seem that I have inadvertantly sliced off my fore-arm when it passed between the reference beam & the 3rd mirror....I am now attemping to dial 911 before I pass out.....Luckily lazers tend to cauterize wounds, so there is not much blood"

  • @frankensteinmoneymac ROFL LOL :)

    Thanks. I needed that. :)

  • i cant tell what the hologram is but all i know is my small brain cannot comprehend with the steps to making a hologram

  • @TrampolineSickness Unfortunately the camera did not handle red very well, but it was a space related model.

    The steps for making holos basically involves setting a model in a beam, letting that light bounce off it to a photo plate, and then developing the plate like a photo, and then displaying the holo in white spot light, sun light, or laser light to enjoy the image in 3D.

  • @ThomasGrillo o, well thats what camera's were like in 2007, but thanks for describing the steps for me, i would like to make a hologram one day

  • @TrampolineSickness Then you'll certainly want to consult the web site, rossbooks. Look for books like Practical Holography, Hologram Marketplace, Holography Handbook, and Shoebox Holography. The latter, and Holography handbook will guide you through low budget methods of building optical tables, getting lasers, and optics, as well as making holograms.

  • @ThomasGrillo thanks for the advice! :)

  • @TrampolineSickness You're welcome. Oh, don't forget to visit the site, holokits. They have inexpensive holography kits which include a small diode laser, trays, chamicals and some small Russian holographic plates, as well as a safelight gel. You'll be able to make holos with that kit, and they have a nice booklet that comes with it that explains many of the principal types of holograms which you will make with that kit.

  • Is it normal when the beam becomes

    like lil' spots everywhere when it goes

    through a lens? Or am i going the bad

    direction when that happens?

  • Thomahhss Geeehhhrillloooo. Miles better than Jason Derulo.

  • @hbunnyo Thanks. :)

  • that is amazing

  • @sebastianf14 Thank you. :)

  • Great setup. I did those back in '68 after I discovered an article in a Electronics magazine. So is this strickly transmission? Can you show your layout as bird-eye view or a basic schematic drawing? 3:1 ratio? Is film still available? Is it 2,000 lines per mm? What is the ASA number?

    Steve

  • @realar The lay out I used is actually one that can be found in the book, Practical holography, and another one, Holography Handbook. These are available via Amazon, and Ross Books on the web.

    My set up here were both transmission, and reflection.

    Sadly, the film used is nolonger available (Agva 8e75), very high res. Russian plates are available, however. Look up holography kit on web at intergraph.

  • holograms and theremins.... cool

  • @ogskeetdizzle Indeed. Thanks. :)

  • I cant seem to find the HD button for your video..:P

  • @12bobbyking This video is NTSC standard def. (old school video). It was originaly shot back in the early 90s on an RCA small wonder VHS camcorder. The tape was nearly oxidized by the time I found it again nearly a decade and a half later to copy for this video.

  • So basically... from what I read in the comments... it is possible to shoot a movie normally or even generate it with a PC, and then turn that into a hologram? If I got it right, WOW.

  • @corotor12345 Yes. However, it is a very time consuming process involving the holographing of each individual frame of film into a holographic slit on a holographic plate, or strip of holographic film. Without a pulse laser, it can take several hours to a day in the lab as each holo shoot requires settling time prior to each frame shoot.

  • Very interesting, thanks !

  • @etiennealive You're welcome. Sorry for the delay in response. :)

  • @ThomasGrillo No problem. Good clear video ! thanks for posting !

  • It's a shame you can't project videos via the

    holographic method, otherwise it would be nice XD

  • Actually, back in the early days of holography (1960s - 70s ish), a holographic motion picture was shot that could be projected on to a large mirror. You could enjoy full parallax as you moved side to side. It was never pursued due to the massive complexities, and danger of sight-loss to the actors from the pulsed lasers that had to be used.

  • I see, and was the motion picture full 3d? Or was

    it just a flat screen facing towards you from any

    point of view?

  • As far as I can gather from the texts, it was full 3D, but I've yet to find photos of the setup.

    However, there are movie like holograms that only show a couple of seconds of footage which have appeared on CD covers, magazine covers, and other places. They don't project, but they are 3D, and show animation.

  • is it possible to create a real 3D image using intersecting lasers of different colors to produce it?

  • If you mean a free floating, mid-air type like that seen in star wars, which was not a hologram, the answer is no.

    However, you can take full color laser (white) and use three different films for each color, and make a full color image on film

  • actually, watch cnn. they have one

  • can u use it to stealth something?

  • That information is compartmentalized. I could tell you, but then I'd have to.... KIDDING! :)

    No, it's not possible to use holography in stealth, as holograms only appear visible from certain directions, and require lighting to play back the hologram coming from another specific direction and angle.

  • Is it possible to animate the master-hologram?

  • It is possible to produce animated master holos, and copy holos.

    A series of photos, or motino picture film are shot, and those are each, holographed using techniques that produce the animated hologram.

    LCD screens have even been used to source the animation master holo.

    Check out the books Practical Holography, and Holography Handbook for more on animated holograms.

    You've seen thse in the movie, Logan's Run, and the CD cover for Prince, ect.

  • Does it do color?

  • My set up was only able to do monochromatic holography. However, if you use a full spectrum laser, and shoot with a red sensitive film, and then with blu / green sensitive film, and combine them or use a full spectrum sensitive film, then you can do color holography. It's been done for well over a couple of decades now. I've seen a fantastic full color holo of a statue of the last supper when I attended a holo workshop in early 90s at Lake Forest University near Chicago.

  • Can this act as a TV or computer monitor?

  • Unfortunately, the physics just don't support it.

  • I dont think free floating 3D is possible, because you have to project image on something. It could be possible with projecting in fog or with low powered lasers projected directly into eyes.

  • Indeed. But it still would not be 3D unless you had multiple lasers converging beams on various points in space within the fog medium. However, the resulting image would be blurry due to the difuse nature of the fog. Still, it might be an interesting trick if it could be pulled off with compute power, steerable mirror canners, and as you mentioned, low power lasers.

  • un aplauso. que boludo el que puso futurama

  • Thank you. :)

  • when holographic images are going in market? when do you think

  • Holograms have been in the market for at least three decades. They've been seen on magazine covers, trading cards, sold as display holograms through museums, scientific shops, ect, as well as being used for anti-counterfeiting measures. You can even find holos available through ebay, amazon, and many other places. :)

  • jajaja ohh sorryyy i my question was refering about 3d

  • Holograms are 3D. But, if you're refering to free-floating 3D projection, that's not going to happen for quite some time in the general market. Not for many years to come.

  • thats right free floating 3d projection,, thank you

  • Ah, I see. No, that's not going to happen soon. :)

  • It look Kool

  • Thanks.

  • FUTURAMA!!!!!! XDD

  • Indeed. :)

  • true true hahah

  • Exelente !

  • Thank you. :)

  • i want a theremin but good u can do some work on holograms know what u could propably make a theremin if u did i would like some blueprints

    and yes i want a theremin

  • Thank you.

    If you want to build a theremin, visit PAiA . com, on the web, and you can buy a kit for $230. They include schematics and parts to build one.

    You can also find schematics to build classic style theremins that use tubes at harisoninstruments . com, and thereminworld . com.

    You can find cheap, but good theremins at soundslikeburns . com. Also check moogmusic . com, and theremin . ws, for higher end theremins.

  • That, and for the cost of the one camera that was used to shoot this, I was able to get three high definition cameras the record to storage cards. Sure wish I had them back in the 90s when I shot this. :)

  • jesus VHS O_O i feel old

  • Yeh, keep in mind the video was shot over a decade ago. By the time I found the tape after moving, it was nerly oxidized. I was lucky to get what I had. I only wish I had movie edit pro when I uploaded this. I could have remastered it. :( Dear oh dear.

  • The futures bright the futures orange

  • Indeed.

  • you are brilliant!

  • Thank you. :)

  • what about using two laser to cross in the midle to make one luminous point in the air, and then in high speed movements controled by a computer to make thounsand of points in the midle air?

  • The risks of eye exposure to the beams is too great in a 3-D application.

  • Hehe. Before you sat into the frame, I was imaging the device is of ginormous proportions! :D

  • Indeed. :)

  • nice, then we have star wars and we call people on holo thingys XD

  • Well, actually, no. It'll be quite a long time befor we get free floating holo-mobiles to call each other on. Would be cool though. :)

  • now show us how to make a holograph :D

  • Well, when I shot this back in the mid 90s, my camera was not sensitive enough to work well in a dark room environment.

    Eventually, one day, when I have access to a room that's actually on a solid foundation, I shall indeed perform an actual holographic imaging session for y'all.

    At least we have this for the time being. :)

  • Do you know a good place to purchase holograms already made? Possibly some that do not need laser light to be seen if any?

  • Visit Rossbooks . com, whrere you'll find an interesting publication called Hologram Market place. It includes holograms which are viewable in white light.

    Also, you can buy holos online from many manufacturers, and indie holographers through that publication.

    See also, a book called holography Handbook, Practical Holography, shoebox holography, and more, also at Ross Books.

    Keep an eye out at magazine racks, as sometimes, publishers might have a holo on a cover.

    Credit cards too. ;)

  • i think hologram is just a beta item, and it still developing, i don't think u can get it anywhere.

  • Holography has actually been around since the 1940s, and was perfected in the 1960s when the laser was invented.

    If you have a credit card, you have a lologram right in your pocket.

    Those shiny, colorful boxes of products you see in stores, are printed with holographic difraction gratings to make that rainbow effect.

    Visit your library, and look up National Geographic Magazine. They've had several issues with holos.

    You can even buy display holos online from many companies today. :)

  • i read a year ago that some university in the united states was working on them, and they even had a prototype... showing very pixilized images in thin air... n they said the machines costed a couple million to make... i havnt been able to find the universities site back tho, cause i dont remember the url :(

  • Indeed. I had seen some articles on the web about a tv that could produce a 2-D free-floating image above it's projector. But, here again, I've not seen anything about it ever since. I was even invited to a demo of it in Chicago, but could not afford to go to see it.

    I do reccall a 3-D imaging system which involved a spinning shite spiral inside a clear box, where lasers were steered toward given points along the X Y Z axial planes. The beams shined onto the spiral, produced the 3-d image.

  • That's university politics for you:) Always doing things the expensive way to keep the funds coming in. Do a search for Mid-Air Display. A friend of mine that goes by the username TheTechnomage built a fully functional mid-air display surprisingly easy. It's similar to the more expensive Helio-Displays you can purchase that use atomized liquid as a medium (so in that regards it doesn't create an image in thin air, but heavy air).

  • Another cheap mid air display that also uses a fine mist from a flange type nozzle is to simply use a laser light show, or even an lcd projector pointed at the water screen. Not 2D, but quite impressive.

  • hi, nice short video introduction.

    i have a two little questions: why do you use 2 spacial filters, does it improve the hologram qualety, and/or is it more important for the second process of making the rainbow hologramm.

    and second what racio of intensity between object and reference beam do you use it looks allmost like 1:1 to me from the video.. thx

    two little pictures of the set-up from above would be nice in the video

  • Spacial filters are extremely important in all aspects of professional holography. Withot them, any dust that gets on a lense will cast shadows on to the object, or the recording media. Spacial filters prevent this, and provide a nice clean spread out beam.

    One filter is used for object, the other for plate. Some layouts require 3 filters.

    I'd have to check my notes, but the ratio was close to 1:1, object / reference beam.

    I nolonger have the optics table to do a top down view with.

  • thx for the fast reply. i'm only asking this, because i made some holograms in the last 2 weeks in the universety, but i used only one spacial filter in the reference beam. another one would have been nice, but just ajusting one was sometimes a pain in the ***. and so i think it had been left out to spare time. i wondered if the actual beam improvement is worth the time and the loss of intensety...

    right now i am quite addicted to holograms, and even checked e-bay for a cheap laser:)

  • The time and effort of spacial filter setup is worth it if you're doing professional work.

    I've been known to spend only a few minutes setting up a s/f one night, and then several hours setting up s/f another.

    You can get a 40 mW diode laser for less than a hundred these days. I paid 6 K$ for my 40 mW hene, seen here. 900 for my 5 mW hene. Now 5 mW diodes are less than 10 bucks. Henes have their place, and can do stuff diods can't, while diodes offer greater coherance lengths.

  • can you have the hologram away anywhere?? or does it need to be in all that gear to work??

  • Holograms come in two forms. Transmission, which require a laser to be viewed, and White-light viewable, which only need sunlight, or overhead point of light to work.

    Transmission holos only need to be in the optical layout when being used as a master, or H1. asside from that, one only needs a spread out diode laser to view a transmission holo.

  • Year :D I did that in an undergraduate course too. Was a lot of fun :) Nice vid

  • Thanks. Indeed, it is fun. :)

  • buy a new camera!xD

    good video, but whats the reasen for that all good vids are n english ond not in german?!

  • The camera was not to blame.

    This video was shot in the mid 90s on VHS tape. By the time I transfered it to digital, the tape was nerly oxidized.

    All my other videos are shot with HD cams.

    I regret that I am not multi-lingual. It would take a lot of time, and expense to have these videos translated to other languages.

    Thank you for your input.

  • to learn German get Rosetta Stone, it works!

    Is there an easy way to make holograms out of photographs? You could start a business doing that

  • Indeed. I must try Rosetta Stone.

    Regarding using photos in holograms. This has been done for decades by companies like American Banknote, and others.

    I've even dabbled in it a bit, but you really don't get much in the way of 3-D effect as all one is doing is making a holo of a 2-D photo, so it's still 2-D, it just looks like a 2-D image set back into the holo a bit. You can do some interesting things with photos in holography though, like cut out around the person, & have a 3D background.

  • because english is the worlds most studied and most used language, plus youtube is an american website =.=

  • Wow! Thomas...Holograms and Theremins! Two mysterious and beautiful things. I just left you a message about finding more octaves on the theremin. Surprised you are into Holograms, too. You have interesting taste. I went to a hologram museum in Soho New York City once with a friend and it was very cool. Took a bunch of pics of the holograms only to developfilm and find no holograms! hehe. I guess u cant photograph them!? Good luck with u and Mabuhay (enjoy) as they say here in the philippines.

  • Hi, Thanks. I do indeed enjoy dabbling a bit in the area of amateure physics.

    It is difficult to photograph a hologram because you have to focus on the reconstructed hologram within the holo. That's how cool holograms are. :)

  • awesome video! i collected a few holo's and im still fascinated how its made. thanks for posting this video.

  • Thanks for the kind words.

    It really is fascinating to actually make a holo. :)

  • I love your lab!!

  • Thanks. Unfortunately, the optical table is history.

    Someday, I'll rebuild it.

  • nice lab!

    are you still into holograms?

    or you dropped it completly for thermin.

    i have a strange question, umm what is the biggets hologram known to man these days?

    how big is it?how big can it get?

  • Thanks for the comment.

    I've not been able to produce holos due to my current location, which is a wood frame house on blocks, and is near a rail yard. Too much vibrations from ground.

    I've heard of holos which are several feet wide. these require either extremely long exposures with low power lasers, or a high power gas, or pulsed laser.

    I've made holos as big as 8 inches by 10 inces with a 40 miliwatt laser.

    I'd have to check my books for the historical info on large holograms.

  • GReat!!, I don´t understand anything but is amazing!

  • Thanks. Check out my other video "Holography Lecture" It may help clear things up a bit. ;)

  • i think you should re enter the holo world ,you are amazingly talented!

  • I certainly intend to do that once I build a lab that's on a proper concrete slab foundation on the ground. ;)

  • cool

  • Thanks. ;)

  • Sir, this is a very nice video. Thanks a lot.

  • Thanks for the kind words, and you're welcome. ;)

  • can you make a holographic printer? then you can make cgi objects and print objects you otherwise could not obtain and make a hologram out of like something really big or detailed..anyway you got something fantastic going and i was just having flights of fancy

  • It sounds like you're talking about one of 2 things. Ebossed printed holography like what's on credit cards, cereal boxes, and trading cards, where they make a master holo, and produce a plate like what's in a printing press, and print off the copies on aluminium backed mylar foil with heat, or physical rappid prototyping where actaul models are made with computer guided lasers focused into UV sensitive liquids, also known as stereo lithography.

  • Damn this is so Star Wars.

    Excellent.

  • Indeed. Thanks. ;)

  • Simply amazing.. Keep up the good work

  • Thanks. ;)

  • how do you make the initial immage for your hologram?

  • The initial hologram, or "master", is made by placing the subject object neaer the film or plate, and then lighting both the object, and the plate with the spread out beam of laser light, or by splitting the beam into an object beam which lights the object, and a reference beam which lights the plate, and then exposing for a couple of seconds, and then develop the hologram, and bleach it clear. then you have a transmission hologram suitable for master to H2 (copy) work.

  • thats cool

  • Cool man, keep up the good work! when the technology gets better u will have feild day! i wish u the best of luck!

  • Do you by any chance know anything about the Litiholo Hologram Kit? The makers say no processing is necessary (RRT10 plates).

  • Yes, I've read about this kit. It uses red laser light, but for some reason, even top holographers in the field have had great difficulty in getting the kit to work. The plates are not very sensitive to light, and require extremely long exposures. There's no developing required. Just set up, expose, and hopefully, you've got a holo to look at.

    The plates use a photo-polymer which reacts to light, and hardens on exposure. Kind of like the UV sensitive optical cements used to assemble optics.

  • Yes I remember reading about that, it happend at ANU physicist Ping Koy Lam, they were destroying protons and recreating them because they could stop them for a hair second seems the problem is movement I say they should try freezing a rat and sending it :) as for costing to much i say boost the economy by starting the process :)

  • You'd have to get that rat to absolute zero for that to work. The process of scanning it, would bring the temperature up, so it's a futile effort. And then, if it's the process where the original is destroyed in the process of scanning, what comes out at the destination? Is it still self aware? Will it be alive at all? Now we're straying from holographic imaging to teleportation. One might as well be trying to invent a time machine.

  • ok so why cant we network the computers like nasa did to figure out these bigger problems and come up with answers :)

  • Physicists say they've teleported a single photon of light. However, it took a vast amount of compute power to do it. Just to store the data regarding the location of every atom in the human body would take far more storage space than all the hard drives in the world. (Way more). It would cost too much, and the technical challenges would make figuring out atomic fission look like basic arithmatic. It's just not feasible in the foreseeable future.

    That's what they said about the sound barrier.

  • 7zip is a good way to package people before uploading them.

    A 'possible' solution is not to record the info at all but to send it directly. It would require being able to access the object as a complete wave function at a particular instant, perhaps by sending a gradient pulse of pure energy at it then transmitting the altered annihilating pulse into a remote receiver which instantly and exactly cancelled the original pulse thus returning the object. if you see what i mean.

  • Fascinating.

  • is it possible yet to do what they did in total recall with a watch where you can be 2 places at once ?

  • Unfortunately, no, it's not possible to do that. It would take way more compute power than all the super computers, and PCs in the world, and even so called
