High-quality optical holograms are combined with interactive graphical elements - leading to hybrid 3D displays that provide extraordinary realism.

这个项目探讨了将计算机生成的图形集成到光学全息图中的可能性。它将传统光学全息图的优点（即，极高的视觉质量和真实感，支持所有深度队列和多个观察者，不需要计算成本，空间效率等）与当今计算机图形功能的优点（即，交互性，实时渲染，模拟动画，立体和自动立体呈现等）结合起来。几个工程和计算机科学主题将贯穿整个项目：不同光学全息图类型的潜力与模具项目的目标必须进行调查。结合计算机图形学和全息术的新型三维显示器将被设计出来。新的实时渲染算法和人机交互技术，是适当的提议的设备将开发。该项目的成果将是一个新颖的三维展示概念，其应用被设想在科学可视化和模拟（在古生物学、病理学或考古学等领域）和教育（在公共博物馆等设施）等领域。

This project investigates the possibility of integrating computer-generated graphics into optical holograms. It approaches to combine the advantages of conventional optical holograms (i.e., extremely high visual quality and realism, support of all depth queues and multiple observers at no computational cost, space efficiency, etc.) with the advantages of today's computer-graphics capabilities (i.e., interactivity, real-time rendering, simulations annimations, stereoscopic and autostereoscopic presentations, etc.). Several engineering and computer science topics will be addressed throughout the project: The potentials of different optical hologram types with respect to die project's goal have to be investigated. New three-dimensional displays that combine computer graphics and holography will be engineered. New real-time rendering algorithms and human-computer interaction techniques that are adequate for the proposed devices will be developed. The outcome of this project will be a novel three-dimensional display concept whose application is envisioned in areas such as scientific visualization and simulation (in domains like paleontology, pathology or archeology), and education (in facilities like public museums).
