For 5 years prior to the filming of this demo, I was gearing up for professional level holographic imaging. This video was shot in 1997 in my studio which was to have become Parallax Holograms. The video is part 3 in a series, and is an excerpt from a longer puplic access program which I will upload at a later date, in small segments.This is a short, detailed description of the optical table setups for making laser viewable transmission master (H-1) holos, as well as white light viewable reflection copy (H-2) holos using split beam techniques. I don't go into exposure, or processing techniques in this video. It's just a brief look at the lab, and explanation into how a holo is made.Sadly, just after the making of this video for Public Access TV, Agfa Gevart quit making holographic supplies for the masses, and limited production to high end green laser sensative films which put thousnads of amature, and semi professional holographers out of action for years until Russian films, and plates became readily available.My company, "Parallax Holograms" never became a reality due to the shortage of supplies caused by Agfa Gevart.Copyright 2007 Thomas Grillo

This is the second piece of CRAZY footage I have received from Germany in the past few days. The mother of the kids singing in the video sent this to me after hearing about the "wings phenomenon" at www.fallenwings.org. Watch the mirror...its quite eerie!!!
mirage took fromhttp://www.grand-illusions.comThe Mirage is one of those classic toys that has been around for several decades now, but never loses its appeal. It produces a small, full-color hologram of natural, lifelike appearance, allowing 360-degree viewing. The little plastic pig seems solid enough, but when you try and touch it, your fingers find that it is just an illusion - there is nothing there.Mirage consists of two opposing parabolic mirrors. In overall appearance, Mirage resembles a small 9inch wok with a 2 inch circular opening in the top. The physical object to be converted to a hologram is placed in the concave centre of the bottom mirror. A hologram instantly projects up through this aperture, appearing to the viewer as a truly solid object. We supply the little plastic pig, but you can place any object in the Mirage, and instantly convert it into a wonderful optical illusion!Mirage was originally discovered over 30 years ago, when a member of staff at the University of California at Santa Barbara was cleaning around a stack of searchlight reflectors (which are parabolic reflectors of course!) when he noticed that he was trying to clean off some 'dust' that turned out not to actually be there! He showed this to one of the physics professors, and the two of them started making a commercial product, based around the phenomenon that they had accidentally discovered.Their initial product was made of glass, and was quite expensive. Later an American company called Optigone took out a licence, and started making a version in plastic, which could sell for a third of the price. There have been even cheaper copies made in the Far East, but they tend to have lower quality optics. We sell the genuine Optigone Mirage.The Mirage is one of those classic toys that has been around for several decades now, but never loses its appeal.

It is a toy using the concave mirror. The stone seem to be there. However, because this is a virtual image that reflects in the mirror, you cannot grip the stone by the hand.
