Holography
Holography is a unique imaging technique that captures light patterns from an object to create a three-dimensional image, or hologram. Unlike traditional photography, which records a flat image, holography uses interference patterns of light waves reflected from the object and a reference beam. This results in a detailed representation that can recreate the original object’s depth and perspective when light shines on it. Holography is used in various fields, including art, security (like credit cards), and data storage, offering more depth and realism than conventional pictures.

Holography is a photographic technique that captures three-dimensional images, creating a hologram. Unlike regular photographs, which show only a flat image, holograms record light fields from multiple angles, allowing the viewer to see the depth and perspective of the object. When illuminated by a laser, a hologram appears to float in space and can be viewed from different angles, revealing details that change as you move. This technology is used in various fields, including art, security (like on credit cards), and data storage, demonstrating the complex interplay of light and information.
