White Paper: Feasibility of using Holographic or Holographic-like technology in Museum Exhibits

Executive Summary NEH funds were awarded to MPM for the purpose of determining the feasibility of using holographic or holograph-like technology to exhibit CT-scan data of Egyptian mummies and to enhance the display of fragile museum objects. To determine this, we proposed to review the capacity of universities, research labs, or commercial companies to take CT-scan data (DICOM), segment it for analysis, and then create a hologram that could be projected in 3D without the use of glasses (Figure 1).
