VIRTUAL IMAGES VS. REAL IMAGES

More or less than meets the eye. Two types of images exist in nature: real and virtual. A real image is one in which light rays actually come from the image. In a virtual image, they appear to come from the reflected image - but do not. In a flat mirror, for example, the virtual image of an object is behind, or "inside" the mirror, but light rays do not emanate from there. Real images from outside the system, where emerging light rays cross and are "caught"...inside camera...on a screen. All concave mirrors can produce real images under certain circumstances. Conditions must be rigidly maintained, however, or the illusion fails to appear. Observe the path of light rays, below, as they construct a three-dimensional image of a marble:

• MODERN HOLOGRAPHY

  Not too long ago, a new and exciting technology called holography began to capture public attention. Depth-defying images produced in common holography are created by laser photography. However, 3-D illusions are not holograms formed by lasers. In an evolving science, its full-color effect is called a reflective hologram...a contemporary term for "any object which can reproduce the image of an object in full three-dimensional reality."

  Our concept of reality is not hereditary. The illusions you create with your HoloMaker...on a desktop, on a table, or in your hands...literally contradict a lifetime of experiences. Never has the line between sensory perception and reality been exposed with such startling clarity.
