Filmmaker Josh Gladstone has recently begun working with light field video, an incredible technology allows him to capture volumetric video with a single camera rig and produce viewable video content in virtual reality (VR) and on the Looking Glass volumetric displays.
Printing a hologram usually involves some sort of special materials or lenses, but a company called Lumii has invented a way to do it with a regular old Epson inkjet printer! The resulting 'lightfield prints' look for all the world like 3D, full-color holograms.
"HoloPainting" is a newly invented technique that combines light painting, stop motion, and hyperlapse to create animated, 3D holograms consisting of pure light.

When it comes to capturing photos of your unborn child, you're pretty much stuck to the ultrasound pics/tape that the hospital lets you take home. But what if there was a service that could take that ultrasound, and turn it into a one-of-a-kind 3D hologram? Well, that's what Pioneer is working on with its new printing service.
In 1993, a convicted murderer named Joseph Paul Jernigan was executed. Having donated his body to science, his body was sliced to provide 1,871 high-resolution cross-section photographs of human anatomy in what is known as the Visible Human Project.
Last year we shared a project called 12:31, in which two photographers used an animation of the cross-section slices to photograph ghostly figures through light-painting. Inspired by that project, photographer Andy Leach recently used the animation for a shoot of his own: he recreated Jernigan's body as a hologram.
