AI Thread Summary
Creating a holographic projecting lens involves understanding the principles of holography, which captures light fields to display three-dimensional images. The discussion clarifies that Google Glass does not utilize a holographic lens, as it primarily projects images using standard optics rather than holography. For those interested in replicating Google Glass, there are accessible online guides available that provide step-by-step instructions. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in terminology regarding holography and its applications. Overall, the focus is on the feasibility of creating similar technology independently.

What would it take to create a Holographic projecting lens? Ideas and Procedures are appreciated.
Thank you.
 
Science news on Phys.org
What's a holographic projecting lens? For what purpose are you hoping to use said lens?
 
Okay I'll use simpler terms.
What would it take to recreate Google glasses? Alone.

What's holographic about google glasses?
 
Google Glass doesn't use a "holographic lens," I think you may be misinterpreting the meaning of the term. Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography

Wikipedia.org said:
Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, rather than of an image formed by a lens, and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject, which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

The good news is, there are step-by-step guides online for creating a home-made version of Google Glass, see here: Instructables: DIY Homemade Google Glass
 
Oh thanks a lot... Much appreciated

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...

Thread 'The focal length of the eye and image inversion'

After my surgery this year, gas remained in my eye for a while. The light air bubbles appeared to sink to the bottom, and I realized that the brain was processing the information to invert the up/down/left/right image transferred to the retina. I have a question about optics and ophthalmology. Does the inversion of the image transferred to the retina depend on the position of the intraocular focal point of the lens of the eye? For example, in people with farsightedness, the focal point is...
