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.

Release holographie.eu March 1st 2011

holographie.eu goes online on March 1st 2011 with the following already announced contents:


Light:

  • ideas of light (form ancient times to a wave theory of light)
  • wave nature of light (amplitude, wave length, frequency, features: interference / coherence and diffraction)
  • laser


Holography:

  • Dennis Gábor
  • retrospect
  • mechanics (recording, reconstruction, side effects: orthoscopic and pseudoscopic image)
  • peculiarities (special performances: parallax, redundancy, multiple exposure; underperformances: laboratory conditions, object selection, monochromatic images; va. Photography: lense, depth of focus, film material, resistance, negative image, positive image)


Phantasms:

  • motion pictures

At the moment holographie.eu assembles about 100 snippets taken from more than 50 movies, TV series episodes, music clips, that show a reference to holography.

  • Touchable holography


As a dynamic website holographie.eu gets expanded successively to the current standard of knowledge.


blog.holographie.eu, twitter and facebook inform about the release of holographie.eu.

Presentation: project holographie.eu

This afternoon project holographie.eu - which is still under construction at the moment - has been presented within a colloquium of Institute for Media Science at Ruhr-University Bochum.

holographie.eu is a scientific project, that documents current work on M.A. thesis Holography as phantasm story - A parallax view (also at Institute for Media Science of Ruhr-University Bochum) and its findings.

The website wants to be freely accessible laboratory for unprotected ideas and all sides visible and passable exhibition room of holographic knowledge, that should be made available for free, for also non commercial purposes and for creation of further knowledge. It is also repository for artefacts and fragments - of intellectual, technical, literarily and filmic kind.

Because of examination reasons and final work on the site, its launch has to be postponed. This blog, twitter and facebook informs about the publication at the appropriate time.

Due to an international interest on this blog holographie.eu is going to be published in a german and an english version as well.

holographie.eu is a dynamic website, that should be updated frequently to the standard of knowledge.

Until now the following parts are almost finished:

Light:
  • ideas of light (form ancient times to a wave theory of light)
  • wave nature of light (amplitude, wave length, frequency, features: interference / coherence and diffraction)
  • laser

Holography:
  • Dennis Gábor
  • retrospect
  • mechanics (recording, reconstruction, side effects: orthoscopic and pseudoscopic image)
  • peculiarities (special performances: parallax, redundancy, multiple exposure; underperformances: laboratory conditions, object selection, monochromatic images; va. Photography: lense, depth of focus, film material, resistance, negative image, positive image)
Phantasms:
  • motion pictures
At the moment holographie.eu assembles about 100 snippets taken from more than 50 movies, TV series episodes, music clips, that show a reference to holographie.

  • Touchable holography (almost finished)
  • Holodeck (work starts in just a few days)
Moreover the following episodes for phantasm part are planned: holographic memory, holographic universe, motion in unmotion, holography in motion pictures.
