Holography is considered as one of the most remarkable discoveries in modern times. Nevertheless for its first decades it seems to be getting forgotten.

Originally stepped up back at the end of the 1940s to improve electron microscopy, it can not fulfill this function and the wish of its discoverer hungarian-british physicist Dennis Gábor. Due to sources of pure coherent light, which are indispensable for optical holography, being not yet available, not even Gábor himself can locate a field of application for this phenomenon. He can neither recognize at that point of time the meaning and the potential of his discovery and with it the influence this new medium would have on our daily lives one day. Nor can he imagine the plenty of phantasms emerging from this phenomenen. Phantasms, which seem to be mostly one step ahead of applied holography.

With the discovery of laser light at the beginning of the 1960s, for the first time ever it becomes possible to record and reconstruct a real three-dimensional image of an object. What once simply starts as a little rainbow coloured picture of a toy train, today finds its applications in a vast variety of different optical and acoustical fields.

It is as remarkable as the phenomenon of holography itself, that it could never prevail as a popular medium like movie, TV, radio, the internet, print media, etc. Especially when keeping in mind all the phantasmatic stories which emerge from this medium. A lot of dreams, hopes and promises that holography never made by itself, but some of them is trying to keep.

blog.holographie.eu accompanies my scientific work on holography, which would like to give holography an attention, that elsewhere is mostly refused to it. It is of course initially interested in based techniques and technologies of holography and how it works. Moreover it is also interested in these upcoming phantasms and their stories arising from possible abilities of holography. Especially against the backdrop of holography seems to be reaching a point, where its possibilities and abilities catch phantasms.

This blog would like to serve as a sketch book for unprotected ideas, of which some maybe become expanded, while others are not haunted any further, but wants to be told and should not be unmentioned forgotten.

Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Live

At the beginning of December 2009 Neurosonics Audiomedical stages a live performance of its original drumkit and turntables video (stills below)






at Musion headquater in London. For this performance by Scratch Perverts the heads have been substituted by holographic images of Beardyman.


Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Live


Adding technologies of touchable holography to a hologram, the imaging method is getting a surface. A skin, which works as a border defining virtual image and real world. Simultaneously it is the locus, where this antagonism meet.

Crying "Au" and screwing up his face in pain when getting hit by the drumstick, Beardyman reveals what maybe have not appeared that clearly before, regarding Shinoda's work. The sensation of touch is not just given to the observer or user, but to the holographic image as well. The virtual hologram itself gets tactile feedback from the real world. Reminding Analoge Halluzinelle. She can not be touched and felt. And she can not hold objects, because she consists of nothing but light. In reverse she can not touch and feel for the same reason. The Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Live performance illustrates how holography's new skin becomes a resistance to the user's hand and simultaneously a nerve ending to a hologram.

The snippet shown above can be considered as an on adding phantasm of an enhancement of reality. Not just the user's reality is augmented by touchable holography, but holography's as well. This enhancement is the foundation for a hologram to react to the real world and to learn.

In his latest science fiction novel [LIMIT] author Frank Schätzing lets his main character Owen Jericho being guided by holographic image of travel guide Yoyo. To project her virtual image on the streets of Shanghai, Owen wears holo spectacles by Tu Technologies, which in the story is a leading enterprise for holography and virtual ambience. Walking along Fuxing Son Lu and the french quarter, crowds of pedestrians passes by. He is amazed Yoyo is not bumping into them. This of course would have no effect, but people walking right through the image of his companion. Which would broken the illusion of her image. But Yoyo reacts to her surroundings and steps aside avoiding collisions. She appears at Jericho's side without indicating disillusioning features like other avatars.
