A method of computing a hologram by determining the wavefronts at the approximate observer eye position that would be generated by a real version of an object to be reconstructed. In normal computer generated holograms, one determines the wavefronts needed to reconstruct an object; this is not done directly in the present invention. Instead, one determines the wavefronts at an observer window that would be generated by a real object located at the same position of the reconstructed object. One can then back-transforms these wavefronts to the hologram to determine how the hologram needs to be encoded to generate these wavefronts. A suitably encoded hologram can then generate a reconstruction of the three-dimensional scene that can be observed by placing one's eyes at the plane of the observer window and looking through the observer window.
A method of generating a holographic reconstruction of an object using a display device and a computer, the display device including a light source, an optical system and a spatial light modulator, the optical system illuminates the spatial light modulator, the optical system images the light source into an observer plane, and the holographic reconstruction of the object being visible by an observer if the observer's eyes are placed at the observer plane;
