Software to make computer-generated hologram

Click For Summary
Software for creating computer-generated holograms is limited, particularly for "free-space" images like those depicted in media, which are not currently feasible. While there are approximations available, such as tools inspired by fictional devices like the "Angelator" from the "Bones" series, they lack advanced capabilities. A recommended starting point for exploring available software is SourceForge, an open-source platform that offers free software options, although specific hologram creation tools may be scarce. One user found the CGH Construction Kit on SourceForge, indicating that some resources do exist for those interested in this technology.

That depends upon what you mean. If you are thinking of something like a "free-space" image as is seen on TV, such is not possible. There is something that approximates Angie Montenegro's "Angelator" from the "Bones" series, but it isn't quite as advanced.
My recommendation is to start by checking SourceForge. It's a open-source software site. They might not have what you are looking for, but everything that they do have is free. (I'm using their Inkscape in place of my beloved Illustrator, and Neo Office has taken over admirably from Microsoft Office.)
 
Thanks. I found CGH Construction Kit on SourceForge.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
