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.

Star Trek: TNG - Haven

Deanna Trois mother Lwaxana introduces young man named Wyatt to her daughther, whom she should marry. When meeting her, Wyatt is disappointed, because she is not the woman that appeared in his dreams. Suddenly a terellian vessel appears with a woman on board looking exactly like the woman in his dreams. Deanna is with pleasure willing to resign from the approaching marriage, to make sure she can stay on board of the Enterprise.

William Riker relaxes with a holographic harp play:

Harp music seems to be a popular way of diversion on the Enterprise. Even Spock plays the vulcan harp in episode Charlie X on Star Trek: The Original Series. Harp music also appears in later episodes and movies of the Star Trek series.

Riker is disappointed, that Deanna Troi, to whom he has a close relationship, is going to leave the Enterprise after her marriage. He backs down to the holodeck. Deanna Troi follows him for a talk:

The holodeck becomes a place of drawback, sancturary, and debate.

In this snippet the exit stays visible to the visitor as part of the Enterprise. Snippets to come will also show holodecks, in which the exit becomes invisible, and thus the visitor having no more hint of his residence in a simulated and reconstructed surrounding.

There is also a german version of this entry on holographie.eu.
