3D images and holography. A brief introduction

Abstract

The tridimensional visualization of images is getting very important our day with applications of upmost importance in medicine and a wide range of industries and business. As well it plays a major role in virtual reality that appeals strongly to the young generations. In a simple hands-on explorative way we will make a brief elementary introduction to the concepts of 3D image and holography applying basic concepts of geometrical optical and of interferometry and diffraction and the properties of light in general.
