About Holography

Holography is a technique which enables three-dimensional images (holograms) to be made. It records the light scattered from an object, and then presents it in a way that appears three-dimensional.

Holography can be thought of as somewhat similar to sound recording, whereby a sound field created by vibrating matter like musical instruments or vocal cords, is encoded in such a way that it can be reproduced later, without the presence of the original vibrating matter.

Holography has application in field of Art, Data storage, Sensors or biosensors, Security holograms and many more fields.
