Dave & Dr Phil check out the world's largest depth of field laser hologram display at Macquarie University.
It was part of the Paula Dawson exhibition. The bar display is titled "To Absent Friends"
This hologram was created in 1988 and is still the worlds largest to this day. They don't make holographic plates this big any more!
The resolution on this entire room display is incredible and was hard the catch on camera in the low light, but you can read the labels on the bottles as if they are right in front of you, and the light reflections in the crystal vases and other objects was simply amazing.
See a behind the scenes video of how it was created here:

    Imagine accidentally hitting and breaking the glass on Paula Dawson's hologram.🤣

    I have some posters which is vine bottle and the flowers.. It's insane.. After many years, bottle looks and feels same lol

    Wow what a coherence-length this laser must have had at that time.
    When are that's a first generation white light holograme acyoly made?
    1992 I made a second generation rainbow hologram this on a 16 tons optical table, it's little more challenge that to make a first-gen hologram this due to the fact that at this time the second generation wite light copy had to be made by a helium – neon laser with relative little power, about 100 mw, meaning a reductase long exposure time on the second-gen copy the first generation wears quud simple because it's made with a multiple jule ruby laser so if I remember right here I used a 7 nano-second pulse. Dont remember due to it wears not the laser I normally use in my own lab, actoly it wears the laser belonging to Dr. Martin Richtartsons so we I made it in the UK where he had this amazing 16 ton optical table so that's why I couldnt nake it in my own lab in the DK where I did live at that time.
    All the best the Tantric Holographour. 😃

    one of the most amazing aspects of holography is the completely clear image of all objects achieved with absolutely no camera lens.

    Thanks for sharing this. I'd have to assume a pulse laser was used to record those huge holograms. 🙂

    Very nice to see holography still present in some place in the world!. I've seen similar or even larger at a German Museum close to the city of Koln in 1990. Needs to say that the laser beam employed was a pulsed one, was'nt?

    make it with 3 laser RVB to have more realistic colors

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yobb89 says:

    best part.check out that shit aaahahah

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jordan Reese says:

    Crazy. Very strange.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scaleop4 says:

    man, the Holograms are epic.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Picobyte says:

    It can be done in full colour,but temperature drift makes the whole scene rain-bowing and look like those cheap shitty id-card holograms.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nico Sande says:

    Cut the bs guys! This is a pulsed-laser hologram. Anyone heard of absolute parallax?? Well, here it is .. Watch this video and watch it over and over again.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Browningate says:

    I want my money back; Dr. Phil did not make his promised appearance in this video.

    Wicked

    A bit better than the ones i made.  My flim plates were 2 1/2" squares and 24 pcs of flim was around $200.   Superfine Ag emultion.   I am not sure what they used but I doubt it was a real bar.  There can be no vibration at all and no light. The work has to be done on a vibration isolation table.  Mine was 4' by 4', and I was doing single small objects.  Amazing!  They are very hard to make.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars modus_ponens says:

    This… is this real? Found video explaining this in some way.
    /watch?v=XtvAhL1lzOI
    I know HOW, but don't understand WHY is it happening. This is great thing for curiosity. There's some quantum phenomenon underneath!

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Vito says:

    Kind of… The recording is limited to a plane the viewing angle is not 180 degrees. Each piece is a viewport but you can't see everything, and every angle, from a smaller window. Each section does not record all the information. Just what is viewable from it, at the maximum viewing angle. Hologram film is about 170,000 DPI … so there is a lot of information in each small section.

    Thanks for the support.

    Funny thing is i actually like your accent and voice very much 🙂 I just love it when you say "Don't turn it on, take it apart" 😀

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Danhtran1122 says:

    If you divide to the hologram to 4 pieces or 100 pieces you still see full room from one piece. I know how to make it but still not fully understand how the light recorded on the film.

    hologram are universe

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Burst Nibbler says:

    Fantastic. I remember a local gallery had a hologram exhibition back in the early 80's. Is it possible to create a colour hologram using RGB lasers on a single photographic plate? Perhaps a pulse from each of the three colour lasers in quick succession (on a static object)?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sirsideways says:

    Haha, "looks like they have let the Art students loose"
    Looks extremely similar to my university by the lake.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nate Pepin says:

    The ending made me laugh.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EEVblog says:

    @holojay Yeah, and the plates are still in amazing condition!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars holojay says:

    And just to think it was made in 1989!

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jayesh M. Mehta says:

    Nice stuff. But i don't see how I could use this for my new design! maybe one day I create my own world in there that nobody is allowed to touch. hehe.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EEVblog says:

    @EEVblog Sorry, not directed at you, it was just a general rant to those like @stumpodeath who post stupid comments about my voice. I get it all the time, a shame these people don't "get it".
