I heard there is a hologram at the Las Vegas sphere, it has solid wheels that spin so it's nothing like the holograms in sci-fi but it still seems pretty cool, you might want to look into it.

In the 90s they used to have whole stores at the mall that sold nothing but holograms. You could get holograms to hang on the wall, or glasses with holograms for lenses so it look like you had fucked up looking eyes. You don't get stores like that anymore.

Yes which has a 2d face which means the plate isn't projecting any hologram, it just has an optical illusion on its face that tricks you into believing there is a 3d object on a 2d surface.

They should be. In the show Ancient Impossible, with Doctor Derek Muller(aka Veritasium,) they used a mock hologram which was actually just CGI overlay on the video frames. Demonstrating that they did have the technology available in 1970s for star wars.
There is also the blockbuster movie Paycheck. Ben Affleck plays a villain of corporate espionage who steals company products for their competitors. The first technology he steals is an enclosed hologram projector which he is able to improve upon and make a true hologram. The gimmick in the film is that when he performs this sabotage all of his memories of the event are wiped.
Henri Poincare dabbled in the mathematics of holograms and arrived at a determination that the 3D world could be projected from a 2D form. This means it is mathematically possible to generate holograms. Outside of science fiction, the technology gained traction when a long dead criminal appeared on stage in a performance with other notorious drug addicts back in 2012; however, it turned out that it wasn't a true hologram but computer graphics projected on a reflective surface. Such quasi-holograms have been around for over a century at the time of the performance.
There are a number of promising developments in holograms, but it is likely going to be subverted by much simpler heads-up displays and augmented reality instead of true holography.

There are little gimmick devices like this. It's a parabolic reflective bowl, with an inverted lid that's open in a small circle at the top. You place any small object in the bottom of the bowl and it appears to be floating above the opening.

Coachella tupac was definitely was a hologram and you are definitely describing stereograms rather than holograms, you just didn't know that not all stereograms require you to cross your eyes, some just use material tricks to have different angles refract slightly different angles of the images, some require you to move the image slightly, and some use pairs of images one after the other to achieve the effect.

I looked up both words that is why I know that if it is just some 2d surface that gives the illusion of three dimensions, it is a stereogram, but if it is light from lasers or other sources projecting and refracting in an actual 3d plane to produce an actual 3d image, it is a hologram.

Also before you say that the sterograms you described don't require a stereoscope or special spectacles, the surface is the special thing because it is actually made of two different surfaces at two different angles with two different pictures seen from each angle.

Now please read the definition for hologram.
>a three-dimensional image reproduced from a pattern of interference produced by a split coherent beam of radiation (such as a laser)
Do you see the word "projecting" in there? No you fucking don't. That's because holograms aren't projected into the air like in your sci-fi flicks. The light hits or passes through a 2D surface, and AT THE SURFACE the light's direction changes. The cool thing about holograms is that they record not just how much light was at a particular location, but how much light was passing through a particular location in every direction. So you don't just get two views of the object, you get all possible views of the object, and that's where the 3D effect comes from.

>That's because holograms aren't projected into the air
What do you think a pattern of interference produced by a split coherent beam of radiation (such as a laser) means? What exactly do you think happens to beams of laser radiation, if not projection in the air?
>The cool thing about holograms is that they record not just how much light was at a particular location, but how much light was passing through a particular location in every direction.
No they don't, they are just a materials with ridged surfaces where different images are placed on the different angled ridges, so that the image you see differs depending on the angle you are looking from and that is where the 3d stereoscopic illusion effect comes from.

Do you know what an interference pattern is? Go do a double-slit experiment and you'll see a simple one -- just a pattern of light and dark bands (the patterns in holograms will in general be more complicated). In holography the pattern produced by the light from a laser beam interfering with light from the object being photographed is recorded on a photographic film. When you view the hologram, those interference patterns act like a diffraction grating, changing the direction of the light as appropriate to give you the original image.

I already posted the tupac hologram video, so water droplets interfering with lasers can easily be seen there.
>In holography the pattern produced by the light from a laser beam
I accept your concession, holographs involve lights and lasers in 3d space, not ridges on stickers that trick you into thinking there is a 3d object on a 2d surface. Maybe they used laser holograms to produce the stereograms, but the end result of the stickers and plates with optical illusions you were originally talking about is a steroegram, not a hologram.

Go read any old news article about how the Tupac show was done. It's just Pepper's ghost. Not a hologram, and no mist was involved. Just a projector and some basic mirror tricks. As for holograms, lasers may be used to create a hologram, but are not necessarily needed to view them. Even Denisyuk's hologram from the 60's could be viewed with normal white light.

It was a hologram and they went the expensive clean route or using screens of iridescent mylar beads instead of mist, but more modern holographic displays tend to use fog or vapor instead of the largely transparent curtain of mylar.

Do you see anything about interference patterns in that article? It's just mirror tricks designed to make it look like the 2D image from a projector was a guy standing on the stage. Do you think Pepper's stage tricks from the 1860s were holograms? Because they're essentially the same thing, just that Pepper was using props instead of video footage. In fact Pepper's version was more 3D than the Tupac show. His ghosts had depth to them; Tupac was just a flat image at the intended depth.

You mean like you did when you completely ignored the sources that didn't agree with you and you still can't justify that the things you are calling holograms are holograms since even they don't conform to your strict definition?
A hologram works by projecting light into 3d space image to create a 3d image which is exactly what the hologram did and what your stereograms do not do.

You mean original meaning of holograms, i.e. a window-like pane inside of which you can see, just like a real window or a mirror? Like in Prey (2017)? Static versions already exists, you can buy them from collectors or see them in museums. Digital screen versions suck ass for the moment, basically most screens you can buy are fake: vertical angular resolution is 1. Yup, ONE. That's not a real hologram, it's basically Nintendo 3DS, but horizontal angular resolution is greater than 2. Requirements for bandwidth, storage, computation are too high for true holography. I think this is solvable in theory.
Or you mean free-floating Star Trek/Wars holograms? This isn't possible with current tech.

Dude, have you been living under a rock all these years? We've had near perfect optical holograms for decades. The military contractors have invested heavily into this technology. This is not science fiction.
Read books like Optical Holography, check out IDA Memorandum Report M-317, check out the work on Quasicrystals, Quince Imaging's 3D Court Projection, Scott William's work at SAIC, the Gulf War hologram story (The Face of Allah), the holograms used in the 2008 US election on CNN (which were actually dumbed down versions made more palatable for general Sci-Fi movie audiences).
Most people have no idea how cool this tech actually is.

>Static versions already exists
You can see them in those videos:

i dont know but for me it seems harder to create a realistic all purpose hologram than just streaming it directly to the brain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJZ

i see the thread got derailed by some asshole who thinks stereograms are relevant. anyhow, yes they already exist primitively. i see them in some airports i frequent and I've seen them in arcades, too. to my memory they're always circular or rotating. I'm not sure if it's a constraint but they appear to be generated by lasers firing off about a circle very quickly.

Just watch the videos above for real holograms. They're supposed to look like windows. If they rotate, they're not real holograms.

Is there a difference between your mother and a hologram of your mother?

I suspect you're thinking about those spinning LED sticks, which while marketed with terms like "holographic 3D fan" are none of those things.

Stack a lot of them on top of each other, and you've got yourself a true volumetric screen. That said, even if it looks like it, it's not really free-floating: touching it would mangle your fingers, it's loud as hell, and it have nothing to do with holography.

They pretty much exist already

Obviously holograms exist, but it seems some people are pissed off by the fact that they don't live up to science fiction. So here are some cool prototype displays that are not holograms:

>Are holograms even possible?
Volumetric displays are a thing. That's about as close to what you're thinking of as we'll get. Second best is real holograms and pepper's ghost illusions.

You forgot about AR tech like HoloLens and Magic Leap. (HoloLens does indeed use holographic tech, but not in the way you think. Image you see with your eyes is not holographic).

not in clear air. you need something for light to scatter from/interact with, so it gets redirected to your eyes.
but fully doable virtually in your brain, provided you have the necessary augmentation for it.

Can't you do it with air alone given a temperature differential.

Aren't those drone swarm shows a really primitive version of free-floating holograms? They're not intangible, tho.

No. A hologram is higher dimensional image encoded into lower dimensions. Typically you see those in 2D laser holographic films that depicts 3D images. What OP is talking about, and what 3CPO is projecting, is a volumetric image.
