What are the technical difficulties of holographic projection?

One is the resolution and clarity of the image. To achieve high-resolution and high-definition 3D image reproduction, advanced optical equipment and algorithms are required. The second is the control of light interference and diffraction, which requires precise control of the propagation and interference conditions of light rays to ensure the stability and accuracy of the image. The third is the complexity and cost of the system. Holographic projection systems are usually quite complex, including optical components, light sources, control systems, etc., with high costs, which limits their widespread adoption.

What is the principle of holographic projection?

Firstly, during the recording process, a reference light and an object light are simultaneously irradiated onto the object, causing interference between the two beams. The intensity and phase information of the object are recorded on the photosensitive material, forming a hologram. Then, during the reproduction process, the hologram is illuminated with the same beam of light as the reference light, and the hologram acts like a complex diffraction grating, causing the light to diffract and thus reproducing the three-dimensional image of the object.
