How does the New Generation Hologram System produce animation?
The holographic stereogram is one of the most exciting developments in holography today. It allows holographers to incorporate a wide range of visual effects in the images, especially animation, hence the term animated’ holograms. New Generation Hologram images present approximately 5 seconds of realistic animation, appearing to move as the viewer walks past the image. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen is attached to a computer and cinematic, video, and still images can be scanned into a computer, manipulated and displayed electronically on the LCD screen. The picture on the LCD is the object that is recorded on the hologram. Recording a sequence of related pictures produces a three-dimensional animated image on the master hologram that can then be transferred to the transfer hologram for viewing with regular white light.
