HoloGraphics : combining holograms with interactive computer graphics
نویسنده
چکیده
Just like computer graphics, holograms are being applied as tools to solve individual research, engineering, and presentation problems within several domains. Up until today, however, these tools have been applied separately. The overall goal of our project is to combine both technologies to create a powerful tool for science, industry and education. We are currently investigating the possibility of integrating computer generated graphics and holograms. Our goal is to combine the advantages of conventional holograms (i.e. extremely high visual quality and realism, support for all depth queues and for multiple observers at no computational cost, space efficiency, etc.) with the advantages of today’s computer graphics capabilities (i.e. interactivity, real-time rendering, simulation and animation, stereoscopic and autostereoscopic presentation, etc.). Several engineering and computer science topics will be addressed throughout the project: The potentials of different hologram types with respect to the project’s goal have to be investigated. New threedimensional displays that combine computer graphics and holography will be engineered. New real-time rendering algorithms, registration methods, and human–computer interaction techniques that are adequate for the proposed metaphor will be developed. The outcome will be a three-dimensional display concept whose application is envisioned in areas such as scientific visualization (e.g., paleontology, pathology, density, medicine, biomedicine, orthopedics or archeology), industrial simulation (e.g., design, manufacturing and quality assurance), and education (e.g., medical training or public museums). Here are some of our initial results.

متن کاملMerging Graphics and Holograms
This article outlines how display holograms can be combined with interactive computer graphics. Digitally projected light is used for replaying the holographic content synchronized to the rendering of autostereoscopic or stereoscopic graphics. Modifying the local intensity of the projected light beam allows creating consistent occlusion and shading effects between both—graphics and hologram. Th...

1 We present a method to analytically compute the light distribution of triangles directly in frequency space. This allows for fast evaluation, shading and propagation of light from 3D mesh objects using angular spectrum methods. The algorithm complexity is only dependant on the hologram resolution and the polygon count of the 3D model. In contrast to other polygon based computer generated holo...
