It is turning holography (three-dimensional photography) into an exciting new adjunct of diagnostic medicine, civil engineering and computer technology.
Though holography is the subject of intense research in commercial and university laboratories across the country, its practical use has been limited by two handicaps: holograms .
Jumbo 3D Holograms of Human Anatomy Enliven Med-School Lectures PowerPoints ? Forget it. Instructional film? Nah. White board? Boring.
