What does Holographic mean to you?

My definition would simply be different words than those used above. I think "holographic" is more of a situation where the illusion becomes believable and almost touchable. Whether it is a soundstage (sonic holograph - nice term) or visual field (hologram), the specific event takes on an atmosphere of real volume and space.

I think 3-dimensional sound has more in common with multi-channel home theater set-ups, which can provide the most easily heard holographic situations. Surround sound would then be the engineered product of sounds delivered in specified areas. These sounds are what I enjoy as the novelty of special effects.

I forgot which movie but there was a scene where John Coltrane pops out of some floor projector device playing his sax. Now, that's holographic. The next wave in home entertainment?

Hi Mhu,

"Vanilla Sky" is the movie...may the Train be with you.

oops, oops, oops..."Trane"...sorry.

Holographic to me means mentally visual illusion that produce a 3-D scenery in front of you. Such an example is the the song" Swept Away" from the live recording of Yanni at the Acropolis. I almost start to cry from happiness when I heard the congo solo 2 ft above my left speaker. Alfredo
