In fact, each year thousands of hobbyists, students, and teachers make holograms at home and school. To make a hologram, you'll need some basic holography supplies and household items (budget about $100), a quiet and dark room, and about 30 minutes. |
This article teaches you how to make holograms, as technically defined and explained by the majority of holography books, experts, scientists, Wikipedia, and Merriam-Webster dictionary. This method is taught in schools and universities in physics and optics courses today. | This article teaches you how to make holograms, as technically defined and explained by the majority of holography books, experts, scientists, Wikipedia, and Merriam-Webster dictionary.
