Topics:

• Holograms for the eyes & ears (making holograms & immersive binaural recordings)

• Merlin's holography references:

• Process for creating Denisyuk holograms (single-beam reflection holograms): http://www.holography.ru/les1eng.htm

• More in-depth info (MIT Open Courseware): https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mas-450-holographic-imaging-spring-2003/9668ed9d2cbf0b127b5c1d1a770b2275_ch16inlinereflectionh.pdf

• Or another explanation you may prefer: https://holographer.com/single-beam-reflection-holograms

• 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...

• Resonant tunnel singing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HLV7SG-h4g
