holographic

 

[ ˌhɒləˈɡræfɪk ]

Adjective
Context #1 | Adjective

visual technology

Holographic refers to a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent light source. It creates a realistic representation of an object, allowing it to be viewed from various angles. Holographic technology is widely used in various fields such as security, data storage, and display technology.

Synonyms

3D, three-dimensional, volumetric.

Examples of usage

  • The concert featured holographic performances of late artists.
  • Holographic displays are becoming more common in gaming.
  • The scientist demonstrated holographic imaging in the lab.
  • Holographic stickers are used for secure document verification.

Etymology

The term holographic is derived from the word 'holography', which itself comes from the Greek words 'holos' meaning 'whole' and 'grapho' meaning 'to write'. Holography was first developed in the early 20th century, but it gained significant traction after the invention of the laser in the 1960s by Theodore Maiman. The ability to create holograms became a revolutionary technique, allowing for the recording of light fields and enabling the production of three-dimensional images. Since its inception, holographic technology has evolved and found applications in various fields including art, security, and data representation, as well as in science and medicine. Today, the term holographic encompasses a wide range of techniques that utilize coherent light to produce visual representations of objects.
