AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The provided context only shows a caption describing two photographs of a hologram from different viewpoints, but contains no information explaining what holography is, how it works, or why it matters.

AI-generated from the Wikipedia summary — may contain errors.

Holography is a technique that allows a wavefront to be recorded and later reconstructed. It is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images, and has a wide range of other uses, including data storage, microscopy, and interferometry. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of wave.
