Holography is one of the remarkable achievements
of a modern science and technology. Holograms
have unique property to restore the high-grade
volumetric image of real subjects. The word
"holography" originated from the Greek words
holos - whole and grapho - write, that means
complete record of the image.
Holography represents photographic process in
a broad sense of this word, essentially differs
from a usual photo because there is a registration
not only intensity
in a photosensitive material, but also
phase of light waves,
scattered by the object and carried the complete
information about three-dimensional structure
of the object. As the medium of mapping of the
reality, hologram has unique property: unlike
usual photo, the holographic
image can reproduce exactly three-dimensional
copy of the original object. Such image with
set of views, varied with change of supervision,
has amazing realness and often looks like the
real object. Unlike photography or painting,
holography can render an object with complete
dimensional fidelity. A hologram can create
everything your eyes see - size, shape, texture
and relative position. However, if you try to
touch a holographic image, all you'll find is
focused light.
Holograms represent the best way of reproducing
quality replicas of museum exhibits, pieces
of sculpture etc. At the same time volumetric
images provide new opportunities for art development,
namely representational holography and optical
design. The holograms are widely used in souvenir
production and as decorations. Holograms are
effective in advertising as well.
Russian holographic studios
have developed an unique technology of producing
high-quality holograms under the scheme: object
-> master hologram -> holographic copy.
There is the gallery
of Russian high-quality pictorial holograms
on our web site. All of the items are available
for ordering. You can read about holography,
its features, including holography as a new
kind of fine art. Our visitors will know about
physical principles of the holography, technology
of hologram manufacturing, other holographic
sites in the Internet etc.
We invite you to take part in
Holographic forum. You can contact authors
of this web site using data, represented in
"Contact" section.
