| Summary: | The article focuses on the use of holographic projection systems to allow deceased entertainers to continue performing. It comments on the use of computers to simulate optical holography and states computer-generated holography (CGH) determines the diffraction pattern that three-dimensional (3D) objects emit and add a reference wave to produce digital holograms that electronic devices can display. It comments that laser show engineer Uwe Maass developed the Musion Eyeliner system in 1995 when he was commissioned to produce a large Pepper's Ghost light projection system for crystal manufacturer Swarovski and mentions plans to make Eyeliner images more realistic. It talks about holographic technology company AV Concepts' holographic projection system. |
