  • I also mentioned transmission holograms (which requires a laser beam of the same wavelength to reconstruct/view the hologram, but can achieve greater depth)
    
  • Also might have mentioned the Litiholo kits – which provide a more instant, darkroom-less, "Polaroid-style" holography process. I made some of these, removed the plastic film with the recorded holo, and cut them up for use in jewelry: https://litiholo.com/
    
  • "Astropilot" Soviet arcade machine, ft. Pepper's ghost effect (NOT a hologram): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsAShNzaj6s
    
  • Josh Ellingson also does some cool Pepper's Ghost art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPt7oqunrbg
    
  • I realized the term I was looking for, to define (IMO) a hologram, is PARALLAX! Where it looks different based on the viewing angle, and also creates the illusion of depth with binocular vision :)
    
  • Immersive binaural stereo recording:
    
  • Recordings I made with my old Hooke Audio binaural-mic earbuds...
