Holography- showing the maya scene infront of your eyes!

if u r free, check out this. in Chinese is called 全像摄影/ 全息摄影

Holography needs to be seen under laser, and u will see the 3d thing infront of you, just like those star trek movie effect showing the space ship, or thing we see in Maya, but no need texture lighting rendering bla bla bla, it is jus taking the real scene infront of your eyes! (click image for the original site)

Holography uses no camera. Instead, two beams of light from a single laser shine on a piece of film. One of the beams reflects from the object.
