SUMMARY

Creating holograms of large objects such as cars or skyscrapers is currently not feasible, but advancements in technology suggest it may be possible in the future. Commercial holographic rigs exist that can project images the size of a car, as demonstrated in a Nova episode. However, challenges remain, particularly with outdoor scenes where stray light can interfere with the holographic projection. Understanding the physics behind holography is essential for further exploration of this topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of holography principles
  • Familiarity with light frequency and interference
  • Knowledge of commercial holographic projection technologies
  • Basic physics concepts related to light behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Research current commercial holographic projection systems
  • Explore the physics of light interference and its impact on holography
  • Investigate advancements in holographic technology for large-scale objects
  • Study the challenges of outdoor holographic displays and potential solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and technology enthusiasts interested in holography, as well as professionals in fields related to visual technology and physics.

I wrote a project about holograms,but my teacher asked me kind of tricky question. Is it possible to make a hologram of a car or skyescraper?`My answer was not at the moment but probably yes in the future.But is kind a difficult to explain all physics behind this matter. Maybe someone could give me a link where i can find answer or give a short explanation. Thank you

Why not? There are commercial rigs that can handle something the size of a car, at least in the Nova episode I saw decades ago! As for an outdoor scene like a large skyscraper, why not? My guess would be that stray light will match the frequency in use.
