Software to make computer-generated hologram

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on software for creating computer-generated holograms. Users clarify that while true "free-space" holograms are not feasible, alternatives exist, such as Angie Montenegro's "Angelator" from the "Bones" series. A key recommendation is to explore SourceForge, an open-source software platform, where users can find free tools. The CGH Construction Kit was specifically mentioned as a viable option found on SourceForge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of computer-generated holography concepts
  • Familiarity with open-source software platforms like SourceForge
  • Basic knowledge of graphic design software such as Inkscape
  • Awareness of alternative software tools like Neo Office
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the capabilities of CGH Construction Kit for hologram creation
  • Explore additional open-source graphic design tools on SourceForge
  • Investigate the technology behind free-space holography
  • Learn about the features of Angie Montenegro's "Angelator" for inspiration
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for graphic designers, software developers, and researchers interested in computer-generated holography and open-source software solutions.

Does anyone know software to make computer-generated holograms? Thanks.

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.
