Repost from comp.graphics.

There has been a lot of discussion lately in this group on computer
generated holograms, stereograms, etc. I looked at this a few years ago
but was not in a position to do anything about it.

However ...the recent discussion has got me interested again
Now I have access to a relatively fast mainframe (and it's basically free)
A very large amount of disk space if I need it (gigabytes)
I have a number of hardcopy devices at my disposal
   - A0 size HP plotters (0.1mm pens)
   - 4000 line slide maker
   - 300, 600, 1200, and 2400 DPI Laserwriters
Choice of good 3D modelling and rendering packages.
I am now also an experienced C and Fortran programmer with a programming
backgound in 3D modelling and signal processing (acoustic).

So tell me...is it possible for me to generate some sort of hologram? If so,
how? If not, why?
