- dejobaanThis is "old Internet" style fun territory (along the same lines as the Tom7 fun, if not quite as deep). I felt that the olive oil + fingerprint + phone screen was a really nice way to illustrate the core concept. Especially clever because it used something common and annoying to help describe how the plotter does its thing.
- auscadHolography is such a beautiful and fascinating gateway to physics, and it’s so rare to see true demonstrations of it. Sadly, most people have no idea what it is because of how carelessly the term is thrown around, just like in this article. At least the author admits it and provides some kind of excuse, even if it’s at the end.
- nomelRelated, "abrasion holography", with great good success for being hand drawn: http://amasci.com/amateur/holo1.html (1995)Maybe could swap out the pen for a needle?
- stenlRelated: ”Self Reflected” by neuroscientist and artist Gregg Dunn, https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/self-reflected-a-giant-...He uses the third dimension to encode time, so that you get an image of the brain that illustrates how signals propagate dynamically between brain regions.I have a version of this on my wall and its mesmerizing to look at with the right lighting conditions
- asalahliSteve Mould has a great video on youtube explaining how they work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-38lwV6vc
- femtoIt would be interesting to augment the plotter with a Unimorph piezoelectric disk scanner [1], to enable finer movement so lines can be drawn closer together.[1] https://john-alexander42.github.io/simple-stm-web-page/Disk_...
- bacon_waffleChocolate is a good medium for holograms :)
- 6510William Beaty had a video of the hands on the car hood. They showed up very detailed some 20 cm under the hood as if people captured inside. Quite the find.
- IshKebabI've made these scratch holograms before with a compass. They're pretty fun, but very far from "real" holograms.
