A Look Back at Vintage Holographic Technology
This video showcases a vintage holographic plate, demonstrating the unique light-diffraction properties that allow a 3D image of a Konica camera to appear when illuminated. Unlike modern stickers or simple rainbow-effect foils, these traditional holograms were created using complex optical techniques to record light fields. The clip highlights how these physical artifacts can still project detailed, depth-filled imagery decades later, serving as a reminder of the early advancements in optical science that paved the way for modern imaging technology.
1. Is op a bot? 2. Thoose are hard af to make. Amazing tech
Waiting for computer screen to adapt that techology.
I completely forgot these things existed!!
Still on some credit cards
The amazing thing is if you cut that hologram in half, both halves still have the complete 3D image.
Visionaries! Knights of the Magical Light!
I remember reading this when it was still on the magazine rack at the local news stand.
From Wikipedia British physicist Dennis Gabor invented holography in 1948 while he was looking for a way to improve image resolution in electron microscopes. Gabor's work was built on pioneering work in the field of X-ray microscopy by other scientists including Mieczysław Wolfke
This is a hologram. Not the rainbow stickers
And still is
