Oliver Bimber proposes combining optical holograms with interactive computer graphics to create augmented holograms. This is done by partially reconstructing the holographic object wave, leaving gaps for graphical content. A proof-of-concept prototype uses a parallax display with an autostereoscopic screen to merge stereoscopic graphics with a hologram. Potential applications include medical, museums, automotive and security holograms. The talk discusses the history of holography and different types of 3D displays.

Parallax Display
> Transmission holograms remain transparent if not illuminated
> Researchers can reconstruct the object wave only partially,
leaving gaps at those places where they have inserted
graphical elements
> Re?ected light rays (red arrows) reconstruct the object wave ?
on their return through the emulsion. ?
> Stereoscopic images (green arrows) pass through all layers ?
until they merge with the hologram.
