FAQ
Holographic Light and Shadow Restaurant
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.
