Holography On Google Doodle

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA (GaeaTimes.com)- Internet Giant Google is celebrating the 110th birthday of Hungarian engineer and inventor of holography Dennis Gabor. To mark his birthday, Google has also put a special holography based Doodle on its logo. The Doodle is green in color owing to the Holography effect and sports “Google” inscribed against a black background.

Holography inventor Dennis Gabor received the 1971 Nobel Prize for his contributions to the field of Physics. He was the first one to have come up with the concept of holography which is now being put to use in several different ways in modern times. Every time you watch a 3D movie and the screen shows an object or a person to be present even though he isn’t there, it’s no magic but a structure carved out using holography. In today’s world, holography is being used by the movie industry especially in Hollywood, where 3D movies like Avatar are made. Much ahead of that holography technique was also used in movies like Matrix.

Holography also gave its way to prominent holograms chiefly used in products like mobile batteries. Holograms are used as a sign of authenticity and to make out the difference between a real and a fake product. It was way back in the year of 1964, when the first hologram was made and holography was made available on a commercial note. Holography was invented by Dennis Gabor who worked upon the principal of optical imaging both at the surface and as well as on the bottom levels. Thus holography came into existence as a holo-spatial structure which was later modified into several different forms.

Holography is not being used by the movie industry at all (yet). 3D movies do not concern with holography technique, they use binocular or stereovision effect instead, as ViewMaster picture discs did, some years ago. Stereoscopic vision is much more simple than holography because it brings a unique point of view. Holography re-composes the image with virtually infinite points of view like the real object does.
