Abstract
In an image reconstructing apparatus 10 for reconstructing a hologram, when a lid 11 is nearly upright in relation to an apparatus body 12, a light emitted from an illumination light source 15 is projected at a predetermined angle of incidence to a hologram 17a placed on a mount surface 16a of a holder 16 of the apparatus body 12 while the light source 15 is being moved.
Claims10
An image reconstructing apparatus for reconstructing a hologram, comprising:
- a body having a holder for holding a hologram recording medium, the recording medium having the hologram recorded thereon;
- a lid pivotally-mounted to the body;
- and
- a movable light source, the light source slideably mounted to the lid and movable through a range of lateral angles in relation to the hologram recording medium within a plane, the plane intersecting the hologram recording medium at a fixed angle, wherein the hologram is comprised of a plurality of element holograms recorded from parallax information of a parallax image train corresponding to different angle views of an object.
A hologram viewing method for viewing a hologram formed by recording a plurality of element holograms on a hologram recording medium, the method comprising:
- forming the element holograms on the recording medium from parallax information of a parallax image train, the parallax image train corresponding to different angle views of an object;
- inserting the recording medium into a holder body, the holder body including a pivotally-mounted lid and a light source slideably mounted to the lid, the light source movable through a range of lateral angles in relation to the inserted hologram recording medium within a plane, the plane intersecting the hologram recording medium at a fixed angle;
- illuminating the hologram recording medium with light from the light source;
- and
- reproducing a hologram image by moving the light source through the range of lateral angles.
