ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for making holographic images by recording an array of pixels which together form a two or three dimensional composite image. Each pixel corresponds to a sampling of just those rays which would pass through a given point on the surface of an ordinary hologram. Every common type of hologram can be made by this method, including 2D/3D holograms, stereograms, and full color holograms. Each pixel is a white light viewable hologram generated by recording a small hologram near the narrowest part of a converging bundle of rays of coherent light, usually with each ray corresponding to one point on the object, and the rays in a pixel being confined to a horizontal plane intersecting the surface of the object.
