Holography in museums

Abstract

This paper discusses some aspects of holographic display techniques pertinent for museum applications. In particular, it revises the features and requirements for three-dimensional (3D) holographic displays, examines the practical use of holographic interferometry as an effective tool for non-destructive inspection of museum items, discusses holographic methods for highdensity data storage and outlines how 3D images can be integrated into a large coverage area.

PVA Hydrogel Embedded with Quantum Dots: A Potential Scalable and Healable Display Medium for Holographic 3D Applications

“…Holography is regarded as a real 3D display technique which can produce all the depth cues without using any special glasses . Other than overlapping two parallax 2D images to imitate depth illusion and form pseudo‐3D images, a holographic display system generates real 3D images by interacting laser beams with a display medium through light‐emitting, light‐scattering, or light‐relaying . In holographic display systems, display mediums play a key role in determining the quality of reconstructed images and have been studied intensively in the past years …”

Emerging Data Visualization Technologies for Map and Geography Libraries: 3-D Printing, Holographic Imaging, 3-D City Models, and 3-D Model-based Animations

“…Ukrainian researcher V.B. Markov has discussed a number of potential applications for holographic museum displays, which could be used to present historic maps re-created in accurate 3-D details using GIS data (Markov 2011).…”
