Abstract
A hologram image apparatus includes a plurality of holographic panels, each holographic panel comprising a transparent panel encoded with a portion of a composite hologram image. The hologram image apparatus also includes one or more light sources configured to illuminate each holographic panel of the plurality of the holographic panels from one or more incident angles to produce the composite hologram image.
Claims15
A hologram image apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of holographic panels, each holographic panel of the plurality of holographic panels comprising a transparent panel encoded with an interference pattern corresponding to a portion of a composite hologram image;
- and
- one or more light sources configured to emit light and to illuminate each holographic panel of the plurality of the holographic panels from one or more incident angles, wherein the interference pattern of each respective holographic panel causes the plurality of holographic panels to diffract the emitted light to produce the composite hologram image.
A method of forming a composite hologram, comprising:
- placing holographic panels adjacent to one another such that a gap exists between adjacent holographic panels, wherein the gap is such that respective depths of field of adjacent holographic panels overlap with one another, and wherein each of the holographic panels is encoded with an interference pattern corresponding to a portion of the composite hologram;
- and
- illuminating the holographic panels from one or more incident angles using one or more light sources to produce the composite hologram.
