  1. hologram, holographnoun

    the intermediate photograph (or photographic record) that contains information for reproducing a three-dimensional image by holography

GCIDE

  1. hologramnoun

    A photographic image giving the observer a seemingly three-dimensional view of the represented object. The three-dimensional effect is produced by exposing a photographic recording medium to an interference pattern generated by a coherent beam of light (as from a laser) reflected from the subject, interacting with a beam directly from the source. The full three-dimensional effect requires illumination of the image with coherent light, but less perfect three-dimensional visual effects may also be observed when the hologram is illuminated with white light.

Wiktionary

  1. hologramnoun

    A three-dimensional image of an object created by holography.

  2. Etymology: from ὅλος + γραμμή, coined in 1964 by Hungarian-born British scientist Dennis Gabor, the 1971 Nobel prize winner in physics for his work in holography.

Wikipedia

  1. hologram

    Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating real three-dimensional images, but it also has a wide range of other applications. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of wave. A hologram is made by superimposing a second wavefront (normally called the reference beam) on the wavefront of interest, thereby generating an interference pattern which is recorded on a physical medium. When only the second wavefront illuminates the interference pattern, it is diffracted to recreate the original wavefront. Holograms can also be computer-generated by modelling the two wavefronts and adding them together digitally. The resulting digital image is then printed onto a suitable mask or film and illuminated by a suitable source to reconstruct the wavefront of interest.

  1. hologram

    A hologram is a three-dimensional image that is created with the use of lasers, light intensity and light patterns. It is a physical structure that diffracts light into an image. When observed from different angles, the image appears to shift and change, giving the perception of depth and dimension. This technology can be used in a variety of fields, including entertainment, medicine, security, and art.

Examples of hologram in a Sentence

  1. Andrew Yang:

    We are exploring rolling a truck out that would enable someone to see a hologram of me that is three-dimensional give my stump speech, and, also, if I were in a studio, which we could set up very easily, I could beam in and take questions live.

  2. Chris Byrne:

    My favorite thing is you can actually create a hologram of yourself… and share them with other people.

  3. Ray Romano Looks Back:

    I was a teenager in the ‘70s, so the fact that I’m talking to him -- the fact that he’s seeing stuff that I’m doing -- I don’t get it, i think it’s all a hologram, really.

  4. Asier Marzo:

    What we have here is what we call an acoustic hologram - or what we have called an acoustic hologram because I think it's the first time it has been used, a traditional hologram it's made of light and you have flat surfaces. Nonetheless it creates a 3D light field. If you remember Star Wars you can see the robot R2D2 and it's broadcasting a 3D spaceship, even from a flat surface. So this is exactly the same; we have a flat surface and we are creating a 3D acoustic field that can surround the particle.

  5. Neil McArthur:

    When Akihiko Kondo look at people who've had difficult sexual experiences, they often find trouble having human partners. People wonder why they'd have sex with a robot or a love affair with a hologram because it's passive, but having a partner who is safe and predictable is often very helpful therapeutically.
